Using A Household Power Source - Canon MV960 Instruction Manual

Using a Household Power Source

Connect to a household power source to use the camcorder without worrying about the
battery power. You can keep the battery pack attached; the battery power will not be
consumed.
1. Turn the
2. Connect the power cord to the
power adapter.
3. Plug the power cord into a power
outlet.
4. Connect the power adapter to the
camcorder's DC IN terminal.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the
adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.
Do not connect any products that are not expressly recommended to the
camcorder's DC IN terminal or to the power adapter.
You may hear some noise from the power adapter during use. This is not a
malfunction.
Do not disconnect and reconnect the power cord while charging a battery pack.
Charging may stop. The battery pack may not be charged correctly even if the
CHARGE indicator is continuously on. The battery pack may also not be
charged correctly when a power outage occurs during charging. Remove the
battery pack and attach it back to the camcorder.
When the power adapter or the battery pack is defective, the CHARGE
indicator flashes rapidly (at about 2 flashes/second) and charging stops.
The CHARGE indicator informs you about the charge status.
0-50%: Flashes once every second
More than 50%: Flashes twice every second
100%: Continuously on
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and
30 °C. Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C, the charging will not
start. If the battery temperature goes outside this temperature range while
charging, the CHARGE indicator will start flashing rapidly and the charging will
stop.
A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike
conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it
before charging.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you
think you might need.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record
pause mode.
