Sony CCD-TRV41 - Manual (Page 71)

On handling tapes
Do not insert anything in the small holes on the rear of the cassette. These holes are
used to sense the type of tape, thickness of tape and if the recording tab is in or out.
Camcorder care
• When the camcorder is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the power source
and remove the tape. Periodically turn on the power, operate the camera and player
sections and plav back a tape for about 3 minutes.
• Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on it,
remove them with a soft cloth.
• Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the
finish.
• If fingerprints or debris make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a I,CD
Cleaning Kit (not supplied) to clean the LCD screen.

Charging
• Use only a lithium ion type battery pack.
• Place the battery pack on a flat-surface without vibration during charging.
• The battery pack will get hot during charging. This is normal.
Others
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in use for a long time. To disconnect
the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged.
• Do not bend the AC power cord forcibly, or put a heavy object on it. This will
damage the cord and may cause a fire or electrical shock.

connecting plate. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
• Always keep the metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from AM
recei\ ers and video equipment because it will disturb AM reception and video
operation.
