Please ensure that the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or
detaching any power supply (ie. battery, AC adapter/charger, etc.)
1. Plug the AC adapter/charger power cord into an AC outlet. Make sure that the wide blade
fits into the wide slot. If it doesn't fit try reversing it. If you still cannot make fit the blades fully
into the outlet either contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet, or use a polarized
cord or outlet accessory.
2. Connect one end of the DC cord (provided) to the DC IN jack of the camcorder. Connect the
other end of the DC cord to the DC OUTPUT of the AC adapter/charger.
Note:
The AC adapter/charger can be used around the world. An AC plug adapter is
required in some foreign countries. If you need one purchase it at your Hitachi distributor.
Note:
The battery level indicator sometimes displays partial charge symbol when using the
AC adaptor/charger. Ignore this indicator when using the AC adaptor/charger.
Using a Car Battery
The camcorder can be powered with a car battery by using an optional car battery cord
(Hitachi VM-CC80A) to plug the camcorder into the car's cigarette lighter socket. Please
ensure that the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or
detaching any power supply (ie. battery, AC adapter/charger, etc).
1. Plug the car battery cord into the car's cigarette lighter socket.
2. Connect one end of the DC cord (provided) to the DC IN jack of the camcorder.
Connect to other end of the DC cord to the DC OUTPUT of the car battery cord.
