Precautions
30
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 or the lens may be exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the inside of the LCD screen.
• 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 POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG) 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 mains lead, pull it by the plug and not the cord.
• Do not damage the mains lead such as by placing anything heavy on it.
• Keep metal contacts clean.
• Keep the Remote Commander and button-type battery out of children’s reach. If the battery is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately (DCR-SR52E/SR62E/SR72E/
SR82E/SR190E/SR200E/SR290E/SR300E).
• If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked:
– consult your local authorized Sony service facility.
– wash off any liquid that may have contacted your skin.
– if any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
x When not using your camcorder for a long time
• Periodically turn it on and let it run such as by playing back or recording images for about 3 minutes.
• Use up the battery pack completely before storing it.
LCD screen
• Do not exert excessive pressure on the LCD screen, as it may cause damage.
• If your camcorder is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction.
• While using your camcorder, the back of the LCD screen may heat up. This is not a malfunction.
x To clean the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, it is recommended you use a soft cloth to clean it. When you use the LCD Cleaning
Kit (optional), do not apply the cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen. Use cleaning paper moistened with the liquid.
On handling the casing
• If the casing is soiled, clean the camcorder body with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, and then wipe the casing with a dry soft cloth.
• Avoid the following to avoid damage to the finish:
– Using chemicals such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, chemical cloths, repellent, insecticide and sunscreen.
– Handling the camcorder with above substances on your hands.
– Leaving the casing in contact with rubber or vinyl objects for a long period of time.
Specifications
About care and storage of the lens
• Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft cloth in the following instances:
– When there are fingerprints on the lens surface.
– In hot or humid locations
– When the lens is exposed to salty air such as at the seaside.
• Store in a well-ventilated location subject to little dirt or dust.
• To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as described above. It is recommended that you operate your camcorder about once a month to keep it in optimum state for a long time.
On charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings even when the POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG). The pre-installed rechargeable battery is always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall socket via the AC Adaptor or while the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 3 months if you do not use your camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation will not be affected as long as you are not recording the date.
x Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall socket using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave it with the POWER switch set to OFF (CHG) for more than 24 hours.
