* The above video camera models may not be available in all countries/regions.

 The sports pack SPK-HCD is water- and moisture- resistant, making it possible to use the Sony digital video camera recorder (referred to below as “video camera”).

 Usable at the depth as low as 5 meters (17 feet) under water.

 For using your video camera with this sports pack, refer to the operating instructions of the video camera.

 Before you start recording, make sure that the video camera is working correctly and there is no water leakage.

 Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video camera, battery, etc., when using the sports pack or for the cost of recording if water leakage occurs as a result of incorrect use.

Precautions on use

	Do not subject the front glass to strong shock, as it may crack.
 Avoid opening the sports pack in the sea or at the beach. Preparation such as
	installing and changing the cassette tape, “Memory Stick Duo” and disc should be

–Check for dirt on the O-ring.–Check the O-ring is not twisted. (See illustration )How to check for water leakage

After replacing the O-ring, close the sports pack without inserting the equipment you are going to use. Immerse the sports pack in water to a depth of about 15 cm for about three minutes and check that no water leaks in.

Maintenance

If the sports pack is allowed to dry with sea water still in the O-ring groove, salt crystals form which may impair the O-ring’s functions.

O-ring serviceable life

The serviceable life of the O-ring varies with frequency of use of the sports pack and conditions. Generally, it is about one year.

Even if the O-ring is not cracked or scratched, deformation or wear reduces its waterproof qualities. Replace the O-ring with a new one if you find cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand inclusion, etc.

After replacing, check that no water leaks in.Grease

Use the grease supplied. Using other manufacturer’s grease will damage the O-ring, and cause water leaks.

Anti-fogging lens solution

Coat the surface of the front glass with the supplied anti-fogging lens solution. This is effective in anti-fogging.

How to use the anti-fogging lens solution

Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and wipe evenly to spread the liquid out by using the swabs, a soft cloth or tissue paper.

Desiccant

To increase the anti-fogging effect in addition to using the anti-fogging lens solution, use the desiccant supplied. Insert new one desiccant into the sports pack 1 to 2 hours before recording. Put the desiccant in the camera mounting shoe rail space inside the front body. (See illustration ) Be careful not to catch the desiccant with the camera mounting shoe. Keep the remaining desiccant in its original bag, and keep the bag firmly closed. Do not return the desiccant to the bag after use, or you will reduce the effect of the unused desiccant. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-fogging effect. Do not leave the desiccant in the sports pack.

O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution

You can obtain the O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution at the nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance

After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash the sports pack thoroughly in fresh water with the buckles fastened to remove salt and sand, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in fresh water for about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions may be damaged or rust may form and cause water leakage. Be careful not to hit the sports pack with other equipment when submerging the sports pack in fresh water. When the water pressure is low and the bend of the O-ring is small, an excessive impact may cause water leakage.

If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm water.

Clean the inside of the sports pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside of the sports pack.

Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the sports pack. Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might damage the surface finish of the sports pack.

When storing the sports pack

Attach the spacer supplied with your sports pack to prevent wear of the O-ring. (See illustration )

Close the sports pack without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the O-ring.

Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.

Avoid storing the sports pack in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.

1Retirez le joint torique. (Voir illustration )

Pour retirer le joint torique, appuyez légèrement dessus, puis faites-le glisser dans le sens de la flèche, comme indiqué sur l’illustration. Le joint torique est suffisamment lâche pour permettre un retrait aisé.

Prenez garde à ne pas érafler le joint torique avec vos ongles.

N’utilisez pas d’objet pointu ou métallique pour retirer le joint. Ce type d’objet risque, en effet, d’érafler ou d’endommager la rainure du caisson ou le joint torique.

2Inspectez le joint torique.

Vérifiez attentivement la présence éventuelle des éléments ci-dessous. Le cas échéant, nettoyez le joint à l’aide d’un chiffon doux ou d’un mouchoir en papier.

Grains of sand or hardened salt sometimes get into the groove. Carefully remove them by blowing with an air spray or by wiping them with a cotton wool bud. Be careful not to leave any fibers from the cotton wool bud inside.

4 Inspect the contact surface on the other side of the O-ring in the same way. 5 Apply a coating of grease to the O-ring.

 Use your fingertips to thinly coat the entire surface of the O-ring with a small drop of grease. (See illustration )

 Do not use paper or cloth as fibers may stick to the O-ring.

 Make sure there is always a thin coating of grease on the surface of the O-ring. Grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.

 Fit the O-ring immediately after coating it with grease. Do not leave the greased O-ring on a table or other surface.

5Appliquez une couche de graisse sur le joint torique.

 Avec les doigts, étalez une petite goutte de graisse en fine couche sur toute la surface du joint torique. (Voir illustration )

 N’utilisez pas de mouchoir en papier ni de tissu, car les fibres risquent de coller au joint.

 Assurez-vous qu’une fine couche de graisse recouvre en permanence la surface du joint. La graisse protège le joint et prévient l’usure.

 Fixez le joint immédiatement après l’avoir enduit de graisse. Ne posez pas le joint enduit de graisse sur une table ou une autre surface.
