Precautions
On the video camera recorder
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not
drip water on the equipment.
• Do not open the marine pack while at 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 near the sea
for a long time, we recommend that it be checked
periodically by a Sony dealer.
• If the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to the
nearest Sony dealer for preventive maintenance.
On the video camera recorder power source
We recommend you use battery packs with a large capacity.
However, in some cases battery packs NP-99/4500/F930
cannot be attached to the video camera recorder.
On the marine pack
• If you open and join the front and rear shells in a place
with high temperature and high humidity, moisture
condensation may occur when you put the marine pack in
the water, causing the front glass to fog.
• 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 inside 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 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 you use the marine pack and the video camera
recorder underwater, clean the video camera recorder and
the 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 may damage the finish.
• When you store the marine pack, grease the O-ring and
put it in the groove correctly. Join the front and rear shells
then put 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 as. This will
damage the marine pack.
• If water comes between the rear shell and the rubber part,
remove the rubber and clean it with a dry soft cloth.
On transportation
• When transporting the marine pack, be sure to remove
the video camera recorder from the marine pack.
• When transporting the marine pack by air or by car, use a
marine pack carrying case (not supplied).
On recording underwater
• Check that the equipment operates correctly and that
there is no water leak at a depth of about 3 feet (one
meter) before you dive deeper.
• Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as
diving period and depth.
• Remove the bubbles from the outside of the front glass.
Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video
camera recorder, battery, etc. in the marine pack or for
the loss of prerecorded material if water leak caused by
incorrect operation occurs.

Notes on the O-ring
The O-ring assures the waterproof function of the marine
pack. To maintain waterproof integrity, use it correctly.
Incorrect handling may cause water to leak in.
O-ring
Front shell Rear shell
Check that there are no scratches or cracks.
Scratches or cracks on the O-ring may cause water to leak in.
If the O-ring is damaged in this way, replace it with a new
one. Do not remove the O-ring from the groove with a metal
tool or a tool with a sharp point.
Crack
Scratches
Grease the O-ring
The grease protects the O-ring from wear.
Check that there are no cracks or dust on the O-ring, then
grease it using your finger. While greasing, double check
that there are no cracks or dust.
Never use cloth or paper to apply grease because the fibers
may cling.
Do not use any type of grease other then the supplied one,
or it may damage the O-ring.
If you run out of silicone grease (2-115-921-01) you can
purchase it from your nearest Sony Service Center.
Do not twist the O-ring.
Put the O-ring in the groove evenly. Never twist it.
Not this way
Do not pinch the O-ring with the marine
pack.
Remove any dust, sand or hair from the
O-ring.
Make sure there is no dust, sand or hair on the O-ring, in the
groove, or on the surface of the marine pack where
the O-ring touches. If there is, clean them completely, or the
O-ring and the surface of the marine pack may be damaged
and water may leak in.
Dust
Surface of the marine pack
where the O-ring touches
O-ring groove
Hair
Sand
When joining the front and rear shells, take care not to pinch
the O-ring between them. If this happens, not only will the
O-ring be damaged, but water may leak in.
Storage
Put the supplied spare O-rings in the original carton and
store it in a cool place.
• Do not expose the O-ring to direct sunlight.
• Do not place a heavy object on the O-ring.
• Do not fold the O-ring.
Useful life of the O-ring.
Depending upon maintenance and the length of use, we
recommend changing the O-ring every one or two years.
The O-ring (3-952-928-01) can be replaced at your nearest
Sony Service Center.
