How to Handle the Water-resistant Packings
Inspect the water-resistant packings constantly to check that there are no
scratches or chipping as they could cause water to enter.
Check that no foreign matter adheres to the water-resistant packings before
closing the cases. If the camcorder is used while dust, sand, or thread
adheres to only one point if the packings, it could cause water to enter.
Consult your nearest dealer to replace the packings.
The Camcorder cannot be used in the following places
Under water
In a place with high temperature and high humidity such as in a sauna,
bathroom, etc.
Where water would strike it violently (where water pressure is applied)
Note: The camcorder cannot be used under water because it is not water-
proof.
Be Careful when Opening and Closing the Sections with Packing
The camcorder inside the case is not structured to be water-resistant. Take
great care that no water droplets enter inside.
Check that the three sections with packing are closed tightly to ensure that
it is water-resistant.
How to Open and Close the Case
1. Push the lever on the snap and hold it, then release the snap in the

Note: After using the camcorder, wipe off the sand or water droplets carefully
from the case before opening it. Since water droplets or sand may remain
under the snap, release the snap in the condition shown in the figure and
wipe off the water droplets or sand carefully.
2. Open the case in the direction of the arrow.
