Using a Car Battery
The camcorder can be powered with a car battery by using an optional car battery cord
(Hitachi VM-CC80A) to plug the camcorder into the car's cigarette lighter socket. Please
ensure that the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or
detaching any power supply (ie. battery, AC adapter/charger, etc).
1. Plug the car battery cord into the car's cigarette lighter socket.
2. Connect one end of the DC cord (provided) to the DC IN jack of the camcorder.
Connect to other end of the DC cord to the DC OUTPUT of the car battery cord.
Note: Only use the car battery cord with cars having 12/24 volt negative ground system.
Inserting and Removing Cassettes
A power source must be connected before inserting or removing cassettes. Once
connected, cassettes can be inserted or removed whether the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch
is on or off.

Caution: Be careful not to catch your fingers between the cassette door and the camcorder
as it could cut you.
