AC Operation
This device is operable with AC power supply or battery
pack.
Use the AC adapter as the AC power supply.
1.
After making sure that the power switches of this device
and of the AC adapter are set to OFF, connect the DC
cable to the DC OUTPUT connector of the AC adapter
and the DC INPUT connector of this device as shown in
the illustration.
• To lessen the amount of unnecessary radio waves
emitted, attach a provided Clamp filter near both ends
of the DC cable as shown in the diagram.
2.
Press the POWER switch of this device to ON. Power is
supplied to the VTR section and the camera.
CAUTION
• Do not remove or connect the DC cable while recording
is being performed.
• Do not use any power source with large fluctuations in
the power source voltage, power sources generating
noise, such as ripples or power sources with lower volt-
age.
Charging the Built-in Battery
The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date
and time and the time code data.
The built-in battery is constantly being charge whenever this
device is connected to a power supply, but it gradually dis-
charges while this device is disconnected from a power sup-
ply. The battery will be fully discharged when this device is
not used for about three months, in which case the set date
and time and time code data are reset.
In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the
date and time and time code data again.
However, it is possible to use this device even if the built-in
battery is discharged but the date and time and time code
data cannot be recorded.
How to charge the built-in battery
1.
Connect the AC adapter to this device and an AC outlet
or mount a charged battery on this device.
2.
Set the POWER switch on this device to “ON” or “OFF”
(charging takes places with the POWER switch set to
either of the positions).
3.
Leave the equipment in this condition for about 4 hours.
• The built-in battery will remain charged for about 3
months after being charged for about 4 hours.
