Power Your Camcorder

Use the Adapter/Charger to Power Your Camcorder

The adapter/charger attaches to the camcorder and lets you power your camcorder directly from standard household power. The adapter/charger operates on 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, and can be used to power the camcorder or recharge the battery.

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