Notes:

CAUTION: If you wish to operate the AC adapter/charger on a power source other than

120 volts, 50/60 Hz, use only a transformer-typepower converter. Do not use "solid-state" or

"switching-type" power converters. They will damage your AC adapter/charger. An optional CPS08 adapter/charger

may be purchased from your RCA dealer. The CPS08 is

designed for use on 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz. See pages 44-45 for optional accessories.

Recharging takes approximately two hours depending on the battery's condition. After repeated charging and use, operation time will gradually

decrease. When operation time becomes too short to be useful,

it's time to replace the battery.

You cannot charge the battery and operate the camcorder from

the adapter/charger at the same time. Remove the adapter/ charger from the camcorder to charge the battery.

When a battery (which has become very hot) is attached to

the AC adapter/charger, the power indicator on the AC

adapter/charger flashes. If this happens, unplug the AC

adapter/charger from the AC wall outlet for approximately ten seconds. After that period the power cord may be plugged back into the AC outlet. Attaching an extremely hot battery to the AC

adapter/charger is not recommended; it should be allowed to cool down before

being attached.
