Powering the Camcorder
from Your Car Battery

Use the optional SDC100 car battery adapter
(shown on page 58) to power the camcorder from
your car battery.

1

Open the battery compartment door
release on the bottom of the camcorder
and insert the DC cable connecting plate
in the camcorder.

2

Pass the DC cable through the battery
compartment notch, then close the battery
compartment door.

3

Insert the DC cable plug into the DC OUT
jack on the car battery adapter.

4

Start the car engine and leave it idling.
Then, insert the power cord plug of the car
battery adapter into the cigarette lighter
socket.

Note:

• See the SDC100 operation manual for details.

Cautions:

• Use only in DC 12 V or 24 V negative ground

system cars. Positive-ground car batteries
CANNOT BE USED. Check your car operation
manual or consult a local car dealer.

• Use the car battery adapter only when the car is

idling or being driven. Otherwise, the car’s
battery will be drained.

• Before starting the car engine, the car battery

adapter must be unplugged from the cigarette
lighter socket.

• Before removing either the DC plug or the

cigarette lighter plug, the camcorder’s Power
switch should be set to OFF.

• Do not apply strong force to the DC cable

connected to the camcorder as this will cause a
malfunction.
