PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.

Notes
•The AC 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.

•Place the AC Adaptor near a wall outlet.

While using the AC Adaptor, if any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power.
