If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the
unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation
clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is
present may damage the unit.
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under
normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days
per month). If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
•For safety, use only the Sony battery packs.
•The battery terminal of this unit (the connector for battery packs and AC
adaptors) is a consumable part. Power may not be supplied to the unit
properly if the pins of the battery terminal are bent or deformed by
shock or vibrations, or if they become corroded due to prolonged
outdoor use. Periodic inspections are recommended to keep the unit
working properly and to prolong its usable lifetime. Contact a Sony
service or sales representative for more information about inspections.
