PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
mains, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The AC power adaptor cannot supply power if
the battery pack is attached to your camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has "source priority". This
means that the battery pack cannot supply
power when the mains lead is connected to the
DC IN jack, even when the mains lead is not
plugged into the mains.
A car battery
You cannot use car batteries with the camcorder.
