PREPARATIONS
AC Operation
The GY-HD110 is operable with AC power supply or battery
pack.
Use the supplied AC adapter as the AC power supply.
1. After making sure that the power switches of the GY-
HD110 and of the AC adapter are set to OFF, connect the
DC cable from the AC adapter to the DC INPUT connec-
tor of the GY-HD110 as shown in the illustration.
2. Press the POWER switch of the G Y-HD110 to ON. Power
is supplied to the VTR section and the camera.
CAUTION
• When using the DC cable make sure to connect the end
of the cable with the ferrite core to the AC adapter.
• Do not remove or connect the DC cable while recording is
being performed.
• Do not use any power source with large fluctuations in the
power source voltage, power sou rces generating noise,
such as ripples or power sources with lower vo ltage.
Attach the supplied core filter (gray) as shown in the diagram
on the right to reduce unwanted electromagnetic emission.
zAttach the core filter as shown in the diagram on the left to
this unit as near as possible.

Charging the Built-in Battery

The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and
time and the time code data.
The built-in battery is constantly being charge whenever the
GY-HD110 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually
discharges while the GY-HD110 is disconnected from a power
supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-
HD110 is not used for about three months, in which case the
set date and time and time code data are reset.
In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the
date and time and time code data again.
However, it is possible to use the GY-HD110 even if the built-
in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code
data cannot be recorded.

How to charge

1. Connect the provided AC adapter to the GY-HD110 and
an AC outlet or mount a charged battery on the GY-
HD110.
2. Set the POWER switch on the GY-HD110 to “ON” or
“OFF” (charging takes places with the POWER switch set
to either of the positions.)
3. Leave the equipment in this condition for about 4 hours.
• The built-in battery will remain charged for about 3
months after being charged for about 4 hours.
