Power Supply

On pages 6 and 7 we described how to
use the battery that came with the camcorder to supply power to the camcorder. You can also use the AC
adapter/charger and the DC power cord
that came with the camcorder to supply
the camcorder with electrical power.
Just follow the steps below.

Connect the other end
of the DC cord to the
DC OUTPUT jack on
the AC adapter/charger.

into
an AC outlet.

3
Plug the AC adapter/charger into an AC
outlet. The POWER light will come
on. Your camcorder will now have
power.

• When the camcorder is in CAM or VCR position and is powered
by the battery, the camcorder will turn itself off if it is not used
for several minutes.
When the camcorder is in CAM position

8. Accessories - Do not place this video unit on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video
unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. Any mounting

recommended

stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation

- Slots and openings

11. Grounding or Polarization - This video unit may be
equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC (Alternating
Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other) or 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having
a third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
The 3-wire grounding type plug will fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords of plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the unit.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video unit, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code, in USA Section 810 Of the National Electrical
Code, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
