How To Power Your Camcorder
You can power your camcorder three different ways:
A. C.
AC Adapter/Charger
• The adapter/charger connects to
the camcorder and plugs into a
wall outlet. It lets you power the
camcorder off normal household
power (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz).
CAUTION: If you wish to operate the
AC adapter/charger on a power source
other than 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, use
only a transformer-type power converter.
Do not use "solid-state" or "switching-
type" power converters. They will
damage your AC adapter/charger. An
optional CPS08 adapter/charger may
be purchased from your RCA dealer.
The CPS08 is designed for use on 100-
240 volts, 50/60 Hz. See pages 44-45
for optional accessories.
Rechargeable Battery
• The rechargeable 9.6-volt battery
lets you record outdoors or
anytime you're away from
electrical outlets.
• The supplied battery can be
charged and then connected to
the camcorder for portable use
indoors or outdoors.
Optional DC Car Cord
• The optional DC car cord lets
you power the camcorder from
the cigarette fighter socket of a
car, truck, or RV.
• You can also use the DC car
cord to connect your camcorder
to a long-play battery.
• The DCC096 is specially
designed to convert 12-volts to
9.6-volts.
