Powering the VIEWCAM from an AC Outlet

Caution:

•The supplied AC adapter is specially designed for use with this VIEWCAM, and should not be used as a power supply for other camcorders.

Cautions:

•BEFORE REMOVING THE DC PLUG, ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE POWER OFF. If you remove the DC plug during recording or playback, the tape will remain wound around the video head drum, potentially causing damage to the tape.

•Remove the DC plug from the VIEWCAM if you will not use the VIEWCAM for a long period of time.

•When removing the plugs, grasp the plug, not the cable.

Note:

•Close the terminal cover after use.
