Important Safety Instructions for AC Adapter/Charger

Before using the AC adapter/charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) AC adapter/charger,

(2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

Caution: To reduce risk of injury, charge only rechargeable batteries type AV608, AV8MM, or AV8MSH. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

Do not expose the adapter/charger to moisture of any kind.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull out the cord with the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the adapter/charger from the wall outlet.

Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:

1.Pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of the plug on the adapter/charger.

2.Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition, and

3.Wire size below is met:

Minimum

Length of Extension

AWG Size

Cord (Feet)

18

Equal to or less

 

than 100

16

than 150

Do not operate adapter/charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace it immediately.

Do not operate adapter/charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified serviceman.

Do not disassemble adapter/charger. Take it to an Authorized RCA Camcorder Servicenter when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock.

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug adapter/charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

Be sure to save these operating instructions for future reference.
