you normally do.

AD-C60
Using AC Power
To power the camera from standard AC power, use the AC adaptor
(AD-C60) that comes with this camera.
AC Adaptor precautions
• Always be sure to use the AD-C60
AC adaptor only. Using any other
AC adaptor can cause damage to
the camera not covered by the war-
ranty.
• When unplugging the AC adaptor
from the wall socket, be sure to
grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
• Avoid an undue bending, pulling,
and twisting of the AC adaptor's
cord, and never try to lengthen the
cord by splicing it with other wire.

Power Supply
• If the power cord should become damaged (exposed wires, discon-
nection, etc.), please purchase a new AC adaptor. Use of a dam-
aged power cord may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the
adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor,
even if the camera has batteries installed. It you don't the camera
will turn off automatically when you disconnect the AC adaptor.
Even so, you run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you
disconnect the AC adaptor without first turning power off.
• The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after extended pe-
riods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
• After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adap-
tor from the AC outlet.
