Sony HVL-20DW2 Operating Instructions Manual page 6

• Do not turn on the light without the cover
in place.
• Do not subject the video light to extreme
shock. It may cause the light bulb to burn
out or shorten the life of the bulb.
• If the voltage drops to a certain extent due
to operation of the function to prevent
extreme discharge of battery capacity, the
light may go out. This is normal.
In this case, turn off the power, and
recharge the battery or use another
charged battery.
• Be sure to turn off the power when you
change the battery pack.
• Battery life of the battery pack is shorter in
cold climates because battery efficiency is
reduced in cold weather {10°C/50°F or
less).
For longer battery life, we recommend the
following:
- To warm the battery, put it in your
pocket. (Do not put the battery pack
together with a pocket heat pad.)
Just before recording, insert the battery
pack into the camcorder.
- Charge the battery using the AC power
adaptor at room temperature (from
10°C/50°F to 30°C/86°F).
After use
• Be sure to turn off the power.
• After the light cools, put it into a case.
• Be sure to remove the battery pack when
the light is not in use or before you put it
info a case.
Cleaning
Clean the video light with a soft dry cloth. If
you clean it with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution,
wipe it with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.
Do not use a damp cloth or any type of
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which
might damage the finish.
