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 antenna 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. 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.
❍ The battery pack may be defective when the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly.
❍ The CHARGE indicator informs you about the charge status.
