Sony CCD-F33 - Manual (Page 11)

Connecting the Power Sources
Notes
• When the video camera recorder is not in use,
remove the battery pack.
If the battery is installed, even if the POWER
switch is set to OFF, a very small amount of
electric current flows.
• The video camera recorder consumes power even
in the recording pause mode. When recording
short scenes using the recording pause mode, the
battery life is less than half that of continuous
recording.
When recording is not to be started soon, turn off
the power with the STANDBY switch.
• If the battery pack is not fully charged or if it is used
in a cold place, its operating time is also shortened.

Using the Alkaline Batteries
The EBP-55 battery case (optional) is
required.
1 Insert the six R6 (size AA) alkaline batteries
into the battery case.
2 Align the right side of the battery case with the
line on the recorder, and while pressing the
battery case, slide it to the right.
To remove the battery case
While pressing the ВАТТ knob on the recorder,
slide and pull out the battery case.
Battery life
With new alkaline batteries, the battery case
provides approximately 40 minutes of continuous
camera recording when used indoors.
Notes on the battery case
• Be sure to use the alkaline batteries.
• The battery case cannot be used in a cold place.
• The OQ indication may not blink when the batteries
in the battery case become weak, as the voltage of
the battery lowers suddenly. If the cassette
compartment does not open, replace the batteries.
