Handling the O-ring
What is the O-ring?
The O-ring ensures the waterproof qualities of this unit 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 this unit 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 fingernails.
Do not use a pointed or metal object to remove the O-ring. This kind of object

may scratch or damage this unit groove or O-ring.
2 Inspect the O-ring.
Check carefully for the following. If found, wipe them off 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  Salt  Thread
scraps
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  Scratches  Sand
Splitting inclusion
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 Coat the O-ring with grease.
 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 this unit.
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 this unit without inserting the equipment you are
going to use. Immerse this unit in water to a depth of about 15 cm for about three
minutes and check that no water leaks in.
Maintenance
If this unit 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 this unit 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.
Desiccant
To increase the anti-fogging effect in addition to using the anti-fogging lens solution,
use the desiccant supplied. Insert one new desiccant into this unit 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. If you fully dry the desiccant, it can be used about 200
times. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-fogging effect. Do not leave the desiccant
in this unit after use.
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.
O-ring (model No. 3-098-143-01)
Grease (model No. 2-582-620-01)
Anti-fogging lens solution (model No. 3-072-039-01)
Maintenance
After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash this unit 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 this unit in fresh water for about 30
minutes. If salt is left on it, metal portions may become damaged or rusty and cause
water leakage. Be careful not to hit this unit with other equipment when submerging
this unit 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 gets on this unit, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm water.
Wipe the inside of this unit with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash it with water.

Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use this unit.
Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as
this might damage the surface finish of this unit.
When storing this unit
Attach the spacer supplied with this unit to prevent wear of the O-ring. (See

illustration  )
 Close this unit without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the O-ring.
 Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.
Avoid storing this unit in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with

naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.
