Power Supply

ªUsing the AC Adaptor

1

1Connect the DC Cable to the Palmcorder.

2Connect the DC Cable to the AC Adaptor.

3Connect the AC Cable to the AC Adaptor and the AC Jack.

The AC Cable’s outlet plug does not fit

entirely into the AC Adaptor jack. A gap will remain as shown 1.

Before connecting or disconnecting the power supply, set the [OFF/ON] Switch on the Palmcorder to [OFF] and make sure that [POWER] Lamp is not lit.

ªUsing the Battery

Before use, fully charge the Battery.

We recommend using a Panasonic Battery. We cannot guarantee the quality of this

Palmcorder when batteries from other companies are used.

1Attach the Battery to the AC Adaptor and charge it.

Since the Battery will not be charged when the DC Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor, disconnect it from the AC Adaptor.

The [CHARGE] Lamp lights up, and charging starts.

When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off, charging is completed.

When the battery is completely discharged, the [CHARGE] lamp blinks at first, but the battery is charged normally. When the temperature of the battery is too high or low, the [CHARGE] lamp blinks and the charging time becomes longer than usual.

2Attach the charged Battery to the Palmcorder.

Disconnecting the Power Source

Set the [OFF/ON] Switch (46) to [OFF] and, while pressing the [PUSH BATT] Button (51), slide the Battery or DC Cable upward to disconnect it.

“1h30min.” indicates 1 hour and 30 minutes. Battery CGA-DU07 is supplied.

The times shown in the table are approximate times. The numbers indicate the recording time when the Viewfinder is used. The numbers in parentheses indicate the recording time when the LCD Monitor is used. In actual use, the available recording time may be shorter.

The times shown in the table are for continuous recording at a temperature of 68oF (25oC) and humidity of 60%. If the Battery is charged at a higher or lower temperature, the charging time may be longer.

The available recording time becomes shorter if you use both of Viewfinder and LCD Monitor simultaneously when using the 0 Lux MagicPix function or rotating the LCD Monitor frontward to record yourself or setting [EVF ON/AUTO] to [ON].
