Precautions
On the video camera recorder
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air nor to drip
water on the equipment.
* Do not open 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 is to be used by the sea for
along time, we recommend that they are checked
periodically by a Sony service facility.
« If the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to the
nearest Sony service facility for preventive maintenance.
On power source for the video camera recorder
Use the battery pack NP-77H, NP-77HD, or NP-S88.
For the CCD-TR200, use the NP-500.
On the marine pack
* If you put the marine pack in the water after you opened
and jointed the front and rear shells in a place with high
temperature and high humidity, moisture condensation may
occur, causing the glass to fog up.
* 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.
¢ Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a
long period of time, otherwise the temperature in the
marine pack may rise and the equipment in the marine
pack may be damaged.
¢ If you cannot avoid leaving the marine pack under direct
sunlight, be sure to cover the marine pack with a towel or
other protection.
* Do not throw the marine pack into the water. Lower it
gently into the water.
On recording underwater
* Check that the equipment operates correctly and there is
no water leak at a depth of about one meter (3 feet) before
you dive deeper.
* Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving such as diving
period and depth.
¢ Remove the bubbles from outside of the front glass.
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 leak occurs caused by
incorrect operation.
On maintenance
After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack with
the buckles tightly fastened in fresh water for a while to
remove the sea water. Then rinse it with fresh water and dry
it with a soft cloth.
* Every time after you use the marine pack and the video
camera recorder underwater, clean the video camera
recorder and inside of the marine pack with a dry soft cloth.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine
for cleaning, as this might damage the finish.
* When you store the marine pack, grease the O-ring, put it
in the groove correctly. Joint the front and rear shells and
place it in a cool place without fastening the buckles.
Avoid storing the marine pack in a hot or very cold place, in
a place subject to direct sunlight or excessive dust, or
together with naphthalene or camphor. This will damage
the marine pack.
'On transportation
* To transport the marine pack, be sure to remove the video
camera recorder from the marine pack.
¢ To transport the marine pack by air or by car, use a marine
pack carrying case (not supplied).
To remove the weight
