PREPARATIONS

AC Operation

The GY-HD250/GY-HD251 is operable with AC power supply or battery pack.

Use the AC adapter as the AC power supply.

1.After making sure that the power switches of the GY- HD250/GY-HD251 and of the AC adapter are set to OFF, connect the DC cable to the DC OUTPUT connector of the AC adapter and the DC INPUT connector of the GY- HD250/GY-HD251 as shown in the illustration.

•To lessen the amount of unnecessary radio waves emitted, attach a provided Clamp filter near both ends of the DC cable as shown in the diagram.

2.Press the POWER switch of the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 to ON. Power is supplied to the VTR section and the cam- era.

CAUTION

•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 sources generating noise, such as ripples or power sources with lower volt- age.

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-HD250/GY-HD251 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 is dis- connected from a power supply. The battery will be fully dis- charged when the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 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-HD250/GY-HD251 even if the built-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data cannot be recorded.

How to charge the built-in battery

1.Connect the AC adapter to the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 and an AC outlet or mount a charged battery on the GY- HD250/GY-HD251.

2.Set the POWER switch on the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 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.
