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 and Time
of the Internal Clock” on page 39).
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.
