Handling the AC Power Adapter
Be sure to use only the specified AC power adapter (PDR-AC20 : sold separately). Using a different AC power adapter
might cause the camera to malfunction.
When you use the AC power adapter, strictly observe the Safety Precautions on page 4 and the notes described below.
• Use the AC cord with the rating of the country/region where the camera is used.
• Be sure that you do not allow the AC power adapter to contact any other metal object as this might cause
a short circuit.
• To connect the AC power adapter, firmly insert the plug on the end of the cable into the DC IN jack. Do not
insert the plug into other terminals. This might cause the camera to malfunction.
• Before disconnecting the connector cable, turn the camera off and then disconnect the cable by its plug.
Do not disconnect the connector cable by pulling the cable.
• Do not drop the AC power adapter or subject it to strong impacts.
• Do not use the AC power adapter in very hot and humid locations.
• Do not plug in the AC power adapter while using the battery.
• The AC power adapter is for indoor use only.

memory. If this happens, reset the date.
