Attaching and Replacing
the Lithium Battery
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/time of the
internal clock” on page 105).
• Carefully read the instructions for attaching and
replacing the lithium battery. Lithium batteries can
explode if misused.
• Use only CR2032 Lithium Batteries. Other types of

moved. If you have difficulty finding CR2032 Lithium
Batteries, contact your Sony dealer.
