Precautions
Camcorder operation
•Operate the camcorder using 6.0 V (battery pack), or 7.5 V (AC power adaptor).
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the casing, unplug the camcorder and have it
checked by your nearest Sony dealer before operating it any further.
•Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be particularly careful of the lens.
•Keep the POWER switch set to OFF when not using the camcorder.
•Do not wrap up the camcorder and operate it since heat may build up internally.
•Keep the camcorder away from strong magnetic fields or mechanical vibration.
•Do not push the LCD screen.
•If the camcorder is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the LCD
screen.
This is not a malfunction.
•While using the camcorder, the back of the LCD screen may heat up. This is not a
malfunction.
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 out or in.
Camcorder care
•When the camcorder is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the power source
and remove the cassette. Periodically turn on the power, operate the camera and
player sections and play back a tape for about 3 minutes.
•Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on the lens,
remove them with a soft cloth.
•Clean the camcorder body with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the
finish.
