Powering Your Camcorder

Before operating your camcorder, 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 camcorder.

•If the adapter is used next to a TV, it may cause bars to appear on the TV — move the adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
