 The sports pack SPK-HCE is water- and moisture- resistant, making it possible to use
the Sony digital video camera recorder (referred to below as "video camera").
Usable at the depth as low as 5 meters (17 feet) under water.

 For using your video camera with this sports pack, refer to the operating
instructions of the video camera.
Before you start recording, make sure that the video camera is working correctly

and there is no water leakage.
Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video camera, battery, etc., when

using the sports pack or for the cost of recording if water leakage occurs as a
result of incorrect use.
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, "Memory Stick Duo" media and 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 strong 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 (32 ˚F).
In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur and damage
2
the equipment.
 Avoid installing the video camera 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).
 Do not leave the sports pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time. If you
cannot avoid leaving the sports pack under direct sunlight, be sure to cover the pack
with a towel or other protection.
If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using 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)
Water Leakage
If water happens to leak in, stop exposing the sports pack to water immediately.
If the video camera gets wet, take it to the nearest Sony service facility immediately.
Repair costs must be borne by the customer.
Handling the O-ring
What is the O-ring?
The O-ring ensures the waterproof qualities of the sports pack or other equipment. (See
illustration )
O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to carry out O-ring
maintenance according to the instructions may lead to water leakage and
cause the sports pack to sink.
Handling the O-ring
Fit the O-ring
Avoid fitting the O-ring in dusty or sandy locations.
1 Remove the O-ring. (See illustration )
 To remove the O-ring, press it and slide it in the direction of the arrow as
illustrated. The O-ring has enough slack to be able to be removed easily.
Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernail.

Do not use a pointed or metal object to remove the O-ring. This kind of object

may scratch or damage the sports pack groove or O-ring.
2 Inspect the O-ring.
Check carefully for the following. If found, wipe off them with a soft cloth or tissue

paper.
– Is there any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps, etc. on the O-ring?
– Is there any old grease on the O-ring?
 Dirt  Sand  Hair  Dust
Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible dirt.

 Be careful not to leave any cloth or tissue paper fibers on the O-ring after wiping it.
 Check the O-ring for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand
inclusion, etc. Replace the O-ring if it is cracked or scratched.
 Cracks  Skewing  Distortion  Fine
Splitting
3 Inspect the O-ring groove.
Grains of sand or hardened salt sometimes get into the groove. Carefully remove
them by blowing with an air spray or by wiping them with a cotton wool bud. Be
careful not to leave any fibers from the cotton wool bud inside.
4 Inspect the contact surface on the other side of the O-ring in the same way.
5 Apply a coating of grease to the O-ring.
 Use your fingertips to thinly coat the entire surface of the O-ring with a small
drop of grease. (See illustration )
Do not use paper or cloth as fibers may stick to the O-ring.

Make sure there is always a thin coating of grease on the surface of the O-ring.

Grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.
 Fit the O-ring immediately after coating it with grease. Do not leave the greased
O-ring on a table or other surface.
6 Fit the O-ring into the groove of the sports pack.
Fit the O-ring evenly into the groove paying attention to the following points:
– Check for dirt on the O-ring.
– Check the O-ring is not twisted. (See illustration )
How to check for water leakage
After replacing the O-ring, close the sports pack without inserting the equipment you
are going to use. Immerse the sports pack in water to a depth of about 15 cm for about
three minutes and check that no water leaks in.
Maintenance
If the sports pack is allowed to dry with sea water still in the O-ring groove, salt crystals
form which may impair the O-ring's functions.
O-ring serviceable life
The serviceable life of the O-ring varies with frequency of use of the sports pack and
conditions. Generally, it is about one year.
Even if the O-ring is not cracked or scratched, deformation or wear reduces its
waterproof qualities. Replace the O-ring with a new one if you find cracks, skewing,
distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand inclusion, etc.
After replacing, check that no water leaks in.
Grease
Use the grease supplied. Using other manufacturer's grease will damage the O-ring, and
cause water leaks.
Anti-fogging lens solution
Coat the surface of the front glass with the supplied anti-fogging lens solution. This is
effective in anti-fogging.
How to use the anti-fogging lens solution
Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and wipe evenly to spread the liquid
out by using the swabs, a soft cloth or tissue paper.
Telephoto button Desiccant
Bouton Téléobjectif
To increase the anti-fogging effect in addition to using the anti-fogging lens solution,
Botón de telefoto
use the desiccant supplied. Insert new one desiccant into the sports pack 1 to 2 hours
before recording. Put the desiccant in the camera mounting shoe rail space inside the
front body. (See illustration ) Be careful not to catch the desiccant with the camera
mounting shoe. Keep the remaining desiccant in its original bag, and keep the bag
firmly closed. Do not return the desiccant to the bag after use, or you will reduce the
effect of the unused desiccant. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-fogging effect.
Do not leave the desiccant in the sports pack.
O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution
You can obtain the O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution at the nearest Sony
dealer.

Anti-fogging lens solution (model No. 3-072-039-01)
Maintenance
 After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash the sports pack thoroughly in
fresh water with the buckles fastened to remove salt and sand, 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. Be careful not to hit the sports pack with other
equipment when submerging the sports pack in fresh water. When the water pressure
is low and the bend of the O-ring is small, an excessive impact may cause water
leakage.
 If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm
water.
Clean the inside of the sports pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside of the

sports pack.
Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the sports pack. Do not
use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might
damage the surface finish of the sports pack.
When storing the sports pack
Attach the spacer supplied with your sports pack to prevent wear of the O-ring. (See

illustration  )
 Close the sports pack without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the O-ring.
Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.

Avoid storing the sports pack in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with

naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.
