Precautions
On the video camera recording
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not drop water on the equipment.
• Do not open the marine pack underwater or at the beach. Preparation such as
installing and checking the equipment should be done in a place with low humidity
and no salty air.
• When your camcorder is to be used near the sea for a long time, we recommend that
it be checked periodically by Sony dealer.
• If the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to the nearest Sony dealer for
preventive maintenance.
• We recommend you use battery packs with a large capacity.
On the marine pack
• If you open and join the front and rear shells in a place with high temperature and
high humidity, moisture condensation may occur when you put the marine pack in
the water, causing the front glass to fog.
The waterproof integrity of the marine pack is maintained by the O-ring, and the
groove and surface where it touches. Be especially careful not to damage or deform
that area. For details, see “Note on the O-ring” (page 13).
• Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time,
otherwise the temperature in the marine pack may rise and the equipment inside
may be damaged. If you can not avoid leaving the marine pack under direct sunlight,
be sure to cover the marine pack with a towel or other protection.
• Do not throw the marine pack into the water. Lower it gently into the water.
On recording underwater
• Checking that the equipment operates correctly and that there is no water leakage at
a depth of about one meter (3 feet) before you dive deeper.
• Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as diving period and depth.
• Remove the bubbles from the outside of the front glass before recording.
Sony dose not accept liability for damage to the video camera recorder, battery, etc.
in the marine pack or for the loss of prerecorded material if a water leakage caused
by incorrect operation occurs.
On maintenance
After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack with the buckles tightly fastened
in fresh water, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Clean your camcorder and the inside of the marine pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not
use any type of solvent such as alcohol or benzine for cleaning, as this might damage
the finish.
