Using a Household Power Source
Connect to a household power source to use the camcorder without worrying about the
battery power. You can keep the battery pack attached; the battery power will not be
consumed.
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. Open the terminal cover and
connect the power adapter to the
camcorder’s DC IN terminal.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
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.
Do not disconnect and reconnect the power cord while charging a battery pack.
Charging may stop. The battery pack may not be charged correctly even if the
charge indicator glows steady. The battery pack may also not be charged
correctly when a power outage occurs during charging. Remove the battery
pack and attach it back to the camcorder.
When the power adapter or battery pack is defective, the charge indicator
flashes rapidly (at about 2 flashes/second) and charging stops.
The charge indicator informs you about the charge status.
0-50%: Flashes once every second
More than 50%: Flashes twice every second
100%: Glows steadily
