Using the Optional Thomson Car Cord Adapter

To power your camcorder from the cigarette lighter socket of a car, truck, or RV, you
need the optional car cord adapter DCC096A shown on page 47.
The DCC096A car cord is especially designed to convert power from a 12-volt battery
to the 9.6-volt input jack on the camcorder.
Caution: The DCC096A car cord is designed to be used only with vehicles having
12-volt negative ground electrical systems.
Warning: To avoid possible damage to your camcorder, use only the DCC096A.
It has positive tip polarity and is capable of converting 12-volts to 9.6 volts.
