• Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain and sea water. Letting the camcorder get wet may cause the unit to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired [a].
• Never leave the camcorder exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140°F ), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b]. [a]

Installing and charging the battery pack Notes

• “--- min” appears on the display until the camcorder calculates remaining battery time.
• Remaining battery time indication in the display window roughly indicates the recording time. Use it as a guide. It may differ from the actual recording time.
• If there is a slight difference in shape between the plug of mains lead and the terminal of AC power adaptor, it is ignorable for their mutual connection and power supply.
• Be sure to plug the mains lead deeply into the terminal of AC power adaptor so that it is firmly locked. If there is a gap between the plug of mains lead and the terminal of AC power adaptor, it does not affect the efficiency of the AC power adaptor. Charging time Battery pack (NP-) Charging time* (min.)

Foreign 8 mm video Playing back an NTSC-recorded tape You can play back tapes recorded in the NTSC video system using the SP mode. However, note that the following will occur during playback of an NTSC-recorded tape.

• When playing back a tape on a TV screen, you may not get the original colour depending on the TV. When you play back on a Multi System TV, set NTSC PB to the desired mode in the menu system.
• During playback, a black band appears on the lower part of the viewfinder.
• You cannot play back a tape recorded in NTSC video system with LP mode neither in the viewfinder nor on a TV screen.
• If a tape has portions recorded in PAL and NTSC video systems, the tape counter reading is not correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the counting cycle of the two video systems.
• You cannot edit the NTSC-recorded tape onto another VCR. Иностранные 8-мм видеоленты Так как системы цветного телевидения отличаются в зависимости от страны, то может быть Вы не сможете воспроизводить иностранные предварительно записанные ленты.

When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the i indicator may appear and start flashing in the viewfinder. When the i indicator changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, set the POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the camcorder to obtain a smooth transition between scenes after the battery pack has been replaced.

The battery pack heats up Be sure to observe the following

• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock. The life of the battery pack If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one. Charging temperature You should charge batteries at temperatures from 10°C to 30°C (from 50°F to 86°F). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. Батарейный блок нагревается Во время зарядки или записи батарейный блок нагревается. Это вызвано генерируемой энергией и химическими реакциями, которые происходят внутри батарейного блока. Это не должно быть причиной для беспокойства и является нормальным. Обязательно соблюдайте следующее

Tips for using the battery pack Советы по использованию батарейного блока Notes on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack Примечания к батарейному блоку “InfoLITHIUM” What is “InfoLITHIUM” Что такое “InfoLITHIUM” The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. When you use this battery pack with video equipment having the mark, the video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes*. However, if you use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity will not be indicated in minutes. “InfoLITHIUM“ is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

• The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment which the equipment is used under. “InfoLITHIUM” является литиево-ионным батарейным блоком, который может обмениваться данными с совместимой видеоаппаратурой относительно расхода заряда батарейного блока. При использовании данного батарейного блока с видеоаппаратурой, имеющей знак , видеоаппаратура будет показывать оставшееся время заряда батарейного блока в минутах.* Однако, если Вы используете его с видеоаппаратурой, не имеющей такого знака, оставшаяся емкость батарейного блока не указывается в минутах. “InfoLITHIUM” является товарным знаком корпорации Sony.
• Показание можеть быть неточным, в зависимости от условий и окружающей среды, при которых используется аппаратура. How the battery consumption is displayed The power consumption of the camcorder changes depending on its use, such as how the autofocusing is working. While checking the condition of the camcorder, the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack measures the battery consumption and calculates the remaining battery power. If the condition changed drastically, the remaining battery indication may suddenly decrease or increase by more than 2 minutes. Even if 5 to 10 minutes is indicated as the battery remaining time in the viewfinder, the i indicator may also flash under some condition.

• После использования батарейного блока “InfoLITHIUM” с аппаратурой, которая не имеет знака , обязательно используйте заряд батарейного блока до конца с аппаратурой, имеющей знак , а затем полностью зарядите его. Почему индикация оставшегося заряда батарейного блока не соответствует времени непрерывной записи, указанном в инструкции по эксплуатации На время записи влияет температура окружающей среды и другие условия. Время записи становится очень коротким в холодных условиях. Время непрерывной записи, указанное в инструкции по эксплуатации, измеряется в условиях использования полностью заряженного батарейного блока (или нормально заряженного) при температуре 25°С (77°F). Так как температура окружающей среды и другие условия отличаются от реальных условий использования видеокамеры, то время оставшегося заряда батарейного блока будет не таким, как время непрерывной записи, указанное в инструкции по эксплуатации. Additional information / Дополнительная информация Set the camcorder to recording standby mode and point towards a stationary object. Do not move the camcorder for 30 seconds or more.
• If the indication seems incorrect, recharge the battery pack fully (Full charge*). Note that if you have used the battery in a hot or cold environment for long time, or you have repeated charging many times, the battery pack may not be able to show the correct time even after being fully charged.
• After you have used the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with an equipment not having the mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment having the mark and then recharge fully. Советы по использованию батарейного блока
