2Turn the AC adapter power ON.

3Turn the camera-recorder power switch ON.

When using an external power supply other than the AC adapter AJ-B75, check the DC IN socket pin information to ensure correct polarity. If a +12V power supply is accidentally connected to the GND terminal, this could cause a fire or personal injury.

Please refer to the viewfinder instruction manual.

Note: A slide rail is required to mount any viewfinder other than models AJ-VF15B or AJ-VF20WB.

zIf you need to buy a slide rail, please contact the store where you purchased the camera-recorder and tell them that the slide rail is a “repair part”.

<Notes>

zWhen both the battery pack and AC adapter are connected, power is supplied from the AC adapter. The battery can be removed or mounted while using the AC adapter.

zWhen using the AC adapter, make sure you turn ON the AC adapter power before turning ON the camera- recorder’s power switch. If this sequence is reversed, the camera-recorder may malfunction due to slow rising of the AC adapter output voltage.

zWhen connecting a battery to the DC IN socket, select the battery type listed under EXT DC IN SELECT. Select EXT DC IN SELECT from the <BATTERY/P2CARD> screen on the MAIN OPERATION page. In this case, however, the % display is disabled, even when using a digital battery.
