USING AN OPTIONAL DC ADAPTER

You can use a DC adapter (CMC No. T16- CC70A, not supplied) to power your camcorder.

Cautions:

•Your vehicle must have a 12-volt, negative- ground electrical system.

•The recommended DC adapter is specially designed for use with your camcorder. Never use it to power any other device.

•Use only the recommended DC adapter to power the camcorder from your vehicle. Using a DC adapter other than the recom- mended DC adapter could seriously dam- age your camcorder and the DC adapter.

•Always connect the DC adapter to the cam- corder before you plug it into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, and unplug the DC adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the camcorder.

Follow these steps to power the camcorder from your vehicle’s battery:

1.Connect the DC adapter’s barrel plug to the DC IN jack on the back of the camcorder.

2.Plug the DC adapter into your vehicle’s cig- arette-lighter socket.

Notes:

•Be sure to push the plug completely into the cigarette-lighter socket.

•Be sure the socket is free from ashes and other debris.
