When the DC cable is connected to the DC INPUT connector, the power supply from the battery pack is interrupted and the
power starts to be supplied through the DC INPUT connector.
Do not connect or disconnect the DC cable while operating with a battery pack.
The following symptoms may occur if the DC cable is connected or disconnected while operating with a battery pack.
• The power is cut off for a moment when the DC cable is disconnected.
• Noise to the video and audio signals occurs. Audio signal are muted.
When operation is continued with DC input after the battery pack capacity has been used up, set the POWER switch to OFF
after the DC power is applied. Then switch ON again.
If the GY-DV500 is left with the battery pack attached, a small amount of power is consumed even if the POWER switch on
the GY-DV500 is set to OFF. Remove the battery pack when the GY-DV500 is not going to be used.
