Connecting to a wall outlet
When you use your camcorder for a long time, it is recommended that you power it
from a wall outlet using the AC adaptor.
1
Open the DC IN jack cover, then connect the AC adaptor supplied with your
camcorder to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plug’s v mark facing
up.
2
Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.
3
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
See page 16 for details.
WARNING
Your camcorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if your camcorder itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The AC adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your
camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has “source priority”. This means that the battery pack cannot supply
any power if the AC adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
