Powering The Xl1S - Canon XL 1s Instruction Manual

Powering the XL1S

Before operating your camera, you will need to use the power adapter to:
provide power from an AC outlet
or
charge a battery pack
Notes:
• The power adapter converts current from a household power socket (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz) to the DC
current used by your camera.
• If the adapter is used next to a TV, it may cause the TV to emit noise — move the adapter away from the
TV or the antenna cable.
