Precautions

On use and care
Do not use or store the camcorder and

accessories in the following locations:
Anywhere extremely hot, cold or humid.

Never leave them exposed to temperatures
above 60 C (140 °F), such as under direct

sunlight, near heaters or in a car parked in
the sun. They may malfunction or become
deformed.
Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical

vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
Near strong radio waves or radiation. The

camcorder may not be able to record properly.
Near AM receivers and video equipment.

Noise may occur.
On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If

sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD

screen, the viewfinder or the lens may be
exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the
inside of the LCD screen or the viewfinder.
Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 V/7.2 V

(battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).
For DC or AC operation, use the accessories

recommended in these operating instructions.
Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,

from rain or sea water. If your camcorder
gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
If any solid object or liquid gets inside the

casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it
any further.
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,

modifying, physical shock, or impact such
as hammering, dropping or stepping on the
product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Keep the camcorder turning off when you are

not using your camcorder.
Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for

example, and operate it. Doing so might cause
heat to build up inside.
When disconnecting the power cord (mains

lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord (lead).
