Precautions on Use

•Do not subject the front glass to strong shock, as it may crack.

•Avoid opening the sports pack in the sea or at the beach. Preparation

such as installing and changing the cassette tape, the “Memory Stick”

and the disc should be done in a place with low humidity and no salty

air.

•Do not throw the sports pack into the water.

•Avoid using the sports pack in places with storong waves.

•Avoid using the sports pack under the following situations:

–in a very hot or humid place.

–in water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

–at temperatures lower than 0 ˚C.

In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur

and damage the equipment.

•Avoid installing the video camera recorder in a humid place. Installing in

a humid place will lead to condensation.

•Use the sports pack for no longer than one hour at a time in temperatures

above 35 ˚C (95 ˚F).

lukewarm water. If the sports pack is left with sun oil on its body, the

surface of the sports pack may become discolored or damaged. (such as

cracks on the surface)

Precautions on Use (continued)

Notes on the Waterproof Gasket

•Check that there are no scratches or cracks on the waterproof gasket as

they may allow water to leak in. If there are scratches or cracks, replace

the damaged waterproof gasket with a new one.

Do not remove the waterproof gasket with a metal tool or a tool with a

sharp point.

•After checking that there are no cracks or dust on the waterproof gasket,

coat it slightly with the supplied grease using your finger. This will

prevent wearing.

While applying the grease, recheck for cracks or dust.

Never use cloth or paper for greasing as the fibers may cling.

Do not use any type of grease other than that supplied, as it may damage

the waterproof gasket.

•Put the waterproof gasket in the grooves evenly, with the tapering side

up. Never twist it.

•The useful life of the waterproof gasket depends upon the maintenance

and the frequency of use, but we recommend changing it once a year. To

replace the waterproof gasket, please consult the nearest Sony dealer. Be

sure to check the water leakage after replacing the waterproof gasket.

Checking for the water leakage after replacing the

waterproof gasket

Check for the water leakage before installing the video camera recorder.

Close the sports pack without installing the video camera recorder, and

keep the sports pack submerged under water at a depth of about 15 cm (6

inches) for about 3 minutes and then check for water leakage.

with fresh water with the buckles fastened thoroughly, then wipe with a

soft dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in

fresh water for about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions

may be damaged or rust may form and cause water leakage.

•If you get suntan lotion or other greasy substances on your sports pack,

wash it off with tepid water.

•Clean the inside of the pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside

of the pack.

•Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for

cleaning, as this might damage the finish.

This is effective in preventing from fogging.

How to use the anti-fogging lens solution

Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and the glass of the eye

cup and wipe evenly to spread the liquid out by using the swabs, a soft

cloth or tissue paper.
