Precautions
•Do not subject the front glass to strong shock, as it may crack.
•Avoid opening the sports pack in the sea or at the beach. Preparation such
as installing and changing a cassette tape and the “Memory Stick” should
be done in a place with low humidity and no salty air.
•Do not throw the sports pack into the water.
•Avoid using the sports pack in places with storong waves.
•Avoid using the sports pack under the following situations:
– in a very hot or humid place.
– in water hotter than 40˚C (104˚F).
– at temperatures lower than 0˚C.
In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur and
damage the equipment.
•Use the sports pack for no longer than one hour at a time in temperatures
above 35˚C (95˚F).
•Do not leave the sports pack under direct sunlight for a long period of
time. If you cannot avoid leaving the sports pack under direct sunlight, be
sure to cover the pack with a towel or other protection.
•If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using
lukewarm water. If the sports pack is left with sun oil on its body, the
surface of the sports pack may become discolored or damaged. (such as
cracks on the surface)
Maintenance and Precautions
Water Leakage
If water happens to leak in, stop exposing the sports pack to water
immediately.
If the video camera recorder gets wet, take it to the nearest Sony service
facility immediately.
Repair costs must be borne by the customer.
Notes on the Waterproof Gasket
•Check that there are no scratches or cracks on the waterproof gasket as
they may allow water to leak in. If there are scratches or cracks, replace
the damaged waterproof gasket with a new one.
Do not remove the waterproof gasket with a metal tool or a tool with a
sharp point.
•After checking that there are no cracks or dust on the waterproof gasket,
coat it slightly with the supplied grease using your finger. This will
prevent wearing.
While applying the grease, recheck for cracks or dust.
Never use cloth or paper for greasing as the fibers may cling.
Do not use any type of grease other than that supplied, as it may damage
the waterproof gasket.
•Put the waterproof gasket in the grooves evenly, with the tapering side
up. Never twist it. (See illustration 
A)
•The useful life of the waterproof gasket depends upon the maintenance
and the frequency of use, but we recommend changing it once a year. To
replace the waterproof gasket, please consult the nearest Sony dealer. Be
sure to check the water leakage after replacing the waterproof gasket.
Checking for the water leakage after replacing the
waterproof gasket
Check for the water leakage before installing the video camera recorder.
Close the sports pack without installing the video camera recorder, and
keep the sports pack submerged under water at a depth of about 15 cm (6
inches) for about 3 minutes and then check for water leakage.
After Recording
After recording in a location subject to sea breezes, wash the sports pack
with fresh water with the buckles fastened thoroughly, then wipe with a
soft dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in
fresh water for about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions
may be damaged or rust may form and cause water leakage.
•If you get suntan lotion or other greasy substances on your sports pack,
wash it off with tepid water.
•Clean the inside of the pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside
of the pack.
•Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for
cleaning, as this might damage the finish.
Anti-fogging lens solution
Coat the surface of the glass with the supplied anti-fogging lens solution.
This is effective in preventing from fogging.
How to use the anti-fogging lens solution
Apply 1 or 2 drops of the liquid to the front glass and the glass of the eye
cup and wipe evenly to spread the liquid out by using the swabs, a soft
cloth or tissue paper.
When storing the sports pack
•Attach the spacer supplied with your sports pack to prevent wear of the
waterproof gasket. (See illustration 
B)
•Close the pack without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the
waterproof gasket.
•Prevent dust from collecting on the waterproof gasket.
•Avoid storing the sports pack in a cold, very hot or humid place, or
together with naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage
the unit.
