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 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.

4

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).

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.

Scratches

Crack

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

O-ring

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.

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.
