PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is
connected to a wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
The AC power adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your
camcorder.
The DC IN jack has source priority. This means that the battery pack cannot supply
any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC cable
of the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power
adaptor.
Using a car battery
Use Sony Car Battery Adaptor (optional). Refer to the operating instructions of the Car
Battery Adaptor for further information.
Connecting to a wall outlet
When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from a
wall outlet using the AC power adaptor.
(1) Open the jack cover and connect the AC power adaptor supplied with your
camcorder to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plugs v mark facing
the Holding Grip.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
