Powering Your Camcorder
Before operating your camcorder, you will need to use the power adapter to:
Provide power from a household power socket
or
Charge a battery pack
Notes:
The power adapter converts current from a household power socket
(100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz) to the DC current used by your camcorder.
If the adapter is used next to a TV, it may cause bars to appear on the TV
— move the adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
Do not connect products not expressly recommended to the camcorder’s
DC terminal. Likewise, do not connect products not expressly
recommended to the power adapter.
