Preparing the Camera 21
Using a Charge Adapter / Car Battery Cable Kit
(Optional)
Charge Adapter / Car Battery Cable Kit CR-560 (optional) can be used to charge battery
packs or to power the camera from a car’s cigarette lighter socket. You can also charge
Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512 (optional) from a household power source
without using the camera by connecting Compact Power Adapter CA-560 (supplied
with the charger adapter) to Charge Adapter / Car Battery Cable Kit CR-560.
Using a Car Cigarette Lighter Socket as a Power Source
1
Attach the DC cable and car battery
cable to the charge adapter.
2
Connect the DC cable to the camera’s
DC IN terminal.
• Confirm that the camera’s power is turned off.
3
With the engine running, plug the car
battery cable into the car’s cigarette
lighter socket.
• Be sure to have the engine running when you
unplug it too.
4
Turn the camera on.
• Always ensure that the car’s engine is running when you use Charge Adapter/ Car
Battery Cable Kit CR-560. Use of the kit without the engine running may flatten
the car battery. Always unplug the kit before turning off the engine.
