Power Your Camcorder
Use the Adapter/Charger to Power Your Camcorder
The adapter/charger attaches to the camcorder and lets you power your camcorder
directly from standard household power. The adapter/charger operates on 120 volts,
50/60 Hz, and can be used to power the camcorder or recharge the battery.
Attach Adapter/Charger
1. Attach one end of the adapter/
charger’s DC cable to the DC
OUTPUT jack on the adapter/charger.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to
the DC IN 9.6V jack on the camcorder.
3. Plug the adapter/charger’s plug into an
operating outlet. The POWER
indicator on the adapter/charger lights
when it is properly connected.
Notes: The adapter/charger cannot charge the
battery and operate the camcorder at the same
time. If you connect both, the adapter/charger
will power the camcorder. Remove the
adapter/charger’s cable from the DC OUTPUT
jack to charge the battery.
When using the adapter/charger to power the
camcorder, the battery level indicator may
display
. This indicator is used for
battery operation and has no meaning when
using the adapter/charger to power the
camcorder.
Remove Adapter/Charger
1. Unplug the adapter/charger from the
wall outlet.
2. Remove the DC cable from the
adapter/charger and camcorder.

Caution: Do not use this adapter/charger for any other purpose other than charging the
EP096FS or EP096FL battery pack or supplying power to the camcorder.
Caution: Do not attempt to use a “power converter” to use your AC adapter/
charger on a power source other than 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, or the adapter/charger
and camcorder may be damaged. 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
CPS014, shown on page 42, is designed for use on 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz.
