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 viewfinder or 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 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).
Do not damage the power cord (mains lead) 
such as by placing anything heavy on it.
