IMPORTANT
• Be careful not to drop the camcorder when attaching, removing or adjusting the various accessories. Using a
table or other stable surface is recommended.

Attaching the Handle Unit

The camcorder is functional even if you remove the handle unit. However, to use the INPUT terminals (A 76),
infrared light (A 85) and tally lamp (A 35), the handle unit must be correctly attached to the camcorder.
1 Attach the microphone holder unit to the handle unit.
• Use a commercially available Phillips head ("crosshead")
screwdriver and the two supplied screws.
2 Align the handle unit with the handle attachment unit and
then slide the handle unit forward all the way.
3 Firmly tighten the front and rear screws.
• To tighten the rear screws of the handle unit you can use a
coin or similar object.
