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.
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).

Only use the car battery cord with cars having 12/24 volt negative ground system.
Inserting and Removing Cassettes
A power source must be connected before inserting or removing cassettes. Once
