Mastering

the Basics

Using a Household Power Source

You can operate the camcorder from a household power source using the supplied

power adapter. The power adapter converts current from a power outlet (100-240 V

AC, 50/60 Hz) to the DC current used by the camcorder.

1. Turn the POWER switch to OFF.

2. Connect the power cord to the

power adapter.

3. Plug the power cord into a power

outlet.

4. Connect the power adapter to the

camcorder’s DC IN terminal.

5. After use, disconnect the power adapter from the camcorder. Unplug

the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect it from the
adapter.

❍

Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.

❍

If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the
adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.

❍

Do not connect any products that are not expressly recommended to the
camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the power adapter.

❍

You may hear some noise from the power adapter during use. This is not a
malfunction.
