Precautions
On the video camera recorder
Be careful not to expose the equipment to salty air nor to
drip sea water on the equipment.
e Avoid opening the marine pack on the sea or at the
seaside. Preparations such as installing and checking
the equipment should be made in a place with low
humidity and no salty air.
When a video camera recorder and a monitor TV are to
be used on the sea or at the seaside for a long period
of time, we recommend that they are checked
periodically by a Sony service facility.
elf the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to
the nearest Sony service facility for preventive
maintenance.
'On power source for the video camera recorder
When you use the marine pack, use Sony battery pack
NP-77, NP-77H, NP-77HD, NP-66 or NP-55 for the power
source of the video camera recorder. You cannot use
battery case EBP-77 or EBP-55.
"On the marine pack
elf the marine pack is put in the water after being
opened and jointed in a place with high temperature
and high humidity, moisture condensation may occur,
causing the glass to fog up and perhaps damaging the
equipment.
e The waterproof integrity of the marine pack is
maintained by the O-ring, and the groove and surface
where it touches. Be especially careful not to damage or
deform that area.
e Before jointing the marine pack, check this area to see
that there are no cracks, dust, sand, hair, etc., and that
the O-ring is lightly greased.
e Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a
long period of time, otherwise the temperature in the
pack may rise and the equipment in the pack may be
damaged.
elf you cannot aovid leaving the marine pack under direct
sunlight, be sure to cover the pack with a towel or other
protection.
e Do not throw the marine pack into the water, lower it
gently into the water.
On recording underwater
e Avoid using the side-window type of mask as it may
interfere in you seeing the monitor.
e We recommend you to check before diving that the
equipment operates correctly and there is no water
leakage at a depth of about one meter (3 feet).
e Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving such as
diving period, depth, etc.
e Before recording, remove the bubbles from outside of
the front glass.
e When you dive with the marine pack with the wide-
conversion lens attached and there is air between the
front glass and the wide-conversion lens, remove the
wide-conversion lens under water and attach it again.
When opening the marine pack
To prevent the video camera recorder from getting wet,
take care on the following points.
e Dry the marine pack well.
e Soak up any water between the left and right bodies
with a towel.
e Make sure you are dry. Take care that no water drops
from your wet suit or dry suit.
On transportation
e To transport the marine pack, remove the video camera
recorder or they may be damaged.
e To transport the marine pack by air or by car, use the
marine pack carrying case. It assures safe
transportation.
Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video
camera recorder, battery, etc. in the marine pack and
for the cost of recording if water leakage occurs
