Page 12

Powering 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 47 is

designed for use on 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz.
