the Lithium Battery

 

 

Attaching and Replacing

This camcorder uses a lithium battery to retain stored data. When using the camcorder for the first time, be sure to attach the supplied lithium battery (CR2032). The camcorder will not operate correctly without this lithium battery. After attaching the lithium battery, set the date and time of the internal clock (see “Setting the Date and Time of the Internal Clock” on page 34).

Note

Use CR2032 lithium batteries only. Other types of lithium battery may come loose when the camcorder is subjected to vibrations. If you have difficulty finding CR2032 lithium batteries, contact your Sony dealer.
