CAUTION
Ensure that the battery is installed with + and – poles connected to the correct terminals. An incorrect connection may cause an
explosion or leakage of fluid.
1-4-1. Replacing Procedure
Preparation
1. Remove the top cover. (Refer to “2-2. Top Cover”.)
Procedure
1. Remove the lithium battery from the four hooks of the battery holder.

1-5. Cleaning of Connector/Cable
• Lit in two green indicators (right): Receive signal condition is very good.
• Lit in one green indicator (2nd from right): Receive signal condition is OK.
• Lit in one yellow indicator (2nd from left): Receive signal level is weak.
• Lit in one red indicator (left): Receive signal level is severely degraded.
When lit in red, be sure to clean the optical contact portions.
When lit in yellow, cleaning is recommended.
The attenuation of the photo-receptive level may cause transmission error. Clean optical contact portions proceeding as follows.
The optical contact portion exist in the optical connector on this unit or camera control, and in the optical/electrical cables.
1-5-1. When the Optical Connector Cleaner (Commercially Available) is Available
Fixtures
• Optical connector cleaner (commercially available)
- Product name: CLETOP ®
- 14100402 or 14100403 or equivalent (stick type)
- 14100402: 2.0 mm
- 14100403: 2.0/2.5 mm double ended
Tip
• Alcohol is not necessary during cleaning.
• Number of possible wipes is one cleaning per a piece. Do not reuse it.
Cleaning Procedure
Male connector
Clean the tip of the optical contacts (white) using the optical connector cleaner.
Female connector
1. Insert the optical connector cleaner straight.
2. Apply sufficient pressure (approximately 600 g to 700 g) to ensure that the optical contact is a little depressed.
3. While pressing the optical connector cleaner against the tip of the optical contact, rotate the optical connector cleaner by 4 to 5
turns clockwise. Holding the optical connector cleaner at around its support facilitates to apply the pressure.

1-5-2. When the Optical Connector Cleaner (Commercially Available) is not Available
(Connectors/Cables of LEMO)
Clean the LEMO connectors and cables using the following procedure.
Fixtures
• Alignment sleeve remover HC-001 (for female connector)
Sony Part No.: J-6480-010-A or DCC.91.312.5LA manufactured by LEMO, or equivalent
Note
Insert the shorter nose end when removing/installing the alignment sleeve. This fixture contains shock absorber portion. Grasp
not the shock absorber portion of the remover but the handle in use.
• Alcohol (commercially available)
• Cotton swabs (commercially available)
Note
Use a cotton swab whose diameter is about 4 mm. If a cotton swab whose diameter exceeds 5 mm is used, the cotton swab
cannot be inserted into the end of the connector and the tip of the optical contact cannot be cleaned.
Cleaning Procedure
Male connector
Clean the tip of the optical contacts (white) with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
Female connector
The optical contacts for female connector are in an unexposed state. In cleaning, it is necessary to be exposed by removing the
alignment sleeve in advance. Proceed as follows.
1. Insert the alignment sleeve remover into the alignment sleeve in the straight line and turn it clockwise.
2. When the turn stops, pull out the remover in the straight line forcedly.

Note
The alignment sleeve can be removed/reinstalled with the sleeve itself attached to the tip of the remover. Great care should be
taken so as not to lose or damage the alignment sleeve.
Alignment sleeve: Sony Part No.: 9-980-074-01
3. Clean the tip of the optical contacts (white) with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
4. Insert the remover with the alignment sleeve attached to its tip, and push it until it clicks.
5. Rotate the remover counterclockwise to install the alignment sleeve, and extract the remover.
1-5-3. When the Optical Connector Cleaner (Commercially Available) is not Available
(Connector of Tajimi Electronics Co., Ltd./Cable)
Clean the connectors of Tajimi Electronics and cables using the following procedure.
Fixtures
• Alcohol (commercially available)
• Cotton swabs (commercially available)
Note
Use a cotton swab whose diameter is about 4 mm. If a cotton swab whose diameter exceeds 5 mm is used, the cotton swab
cannot be inserted into the end of the connector and the tip of the optical contact cannot be cleaned.
Cleaning Procedure
Male connector
Clean the tip of the optical contacts (white) with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
Female connector
The optical contacts for female connector are in an unexposed state. In cleaning, it is necessary to be exposed by removing the
adapter in the connector in advance. Proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the adapter pin at the center of the connector counterclockwise with a screwdriver.
Note
If there is no screwdriver, use the plate attached to the connector cap.
