Powering the GL1

Before operating your camera, you will need to use the power adapter to:

provide power from an AC outlet or

charge a battery pack

Notes:

The power adapter converts current from a household power socket (100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz) to the DC current used by your camera.

If the adapter is used next to a TV, it may cause the TV to emit noise — move the adapter away from

the TV or the antenna cable.
