Using a Household Power Source
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. Connect the power adapter to the
camcorder’s DC IN terminal.
❍
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
❍
If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the
adapter away from the TV or the aerial cable.
❍
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.
