Maintenance information and precautions

Notes on the battery case

• Use only with alkaline batteries. You cannot use the battery case with

manganese batteries or size AA (LR6) rechargeable NiCd batteries.

• Using with Sony alkaline batteries is preferable.

• Battery life is remarkably shorter in a cold environment (lower than 50°F/10°C).

• Keep the metal part clean. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth.

• Do not disassemble or convert the battery case.

• Do not expose the battery case to any mechanical shock.

• During recording, the battery case heats up. This is not cause for concern.

• Prevent the electrode in the battery case from coming in contact with a metal object.

• If you will not use the battery case for a long time, detach the battery case from the

camcorder and remove the batteries from the battery case.

Moisture condensation

If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense inside the camcorder, on the surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this

condition, the tape may stick to the head drum and be damaged or the unit may not

operate correctly. To prevent possible damage under these circumstances, the

camcorder is furnished with moisture sensors. Please, take the following precautions.

Inside the camcorder

If there is moisture inside the camcorder, the beep sounds and the IB indicator flashes.

If this happens, none of the functions except cassette ejection will work. Open the

cassette compartment, turn off the camcorder, and leave it about 1 hour. When A

indicator flashes at the same time, the cassette is inserted in the camcorder. Eject the

cassette, him off the camcorder, and leave also the cassette about 1 hour. The camcorder

can be used again if the QD indicator does not appear when the power is turned on

again.

On the lens

If moisture condenses on the lens, no indicator appears, but the picture becomes dim.

Turn off the power and do not use the camcorder for about 1 hour.
