Power Supply
ªUsing the AC Adaptor
1
Insert the battery-shaped connector of the DC Cable into the 
Battery Holder on the Palmcorder.
2Connect the DC Cable to the [DC OUT] Jack on the AC 
Adaptor.
3Connect the AC Adaptor and AC Cable.
≥The AC Cable’s outlet plug cannot be pushed fully into the AC Adaptor 
Jack. A gap will remain as shown 
1.
≥Before connecting or disconnecting the power supply, set the [OFF/
ON/MODE] Switch on the Palmcorder to [OFF] and make sure that 
[CAMERA/VCR/CARD P.B.] Lamps are not lit.
≥Battery cannot be charged if DC Cable is connected to AC Adapter.
ªUsing the Battery
Before use, fully charge the battery.
1Attach the Battery to AC Adaptor and charge it.
≥Since the Battery will not be charged when the DC Cable is connected 
to the AC Adaptor, disconnect it.
≥The [POWER] Lamp and [CHARGE] Lamp lights up, and charging 
starts.
≥When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off, charging is completed.
2Attach the charged Battery to the Palmcorder.
Disconnecting the Power Source
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch 1 to [OFF], and while pressing the 
[PUSH BATT] Button 
2, slide the Battery or battery-shaped connector 
upward to disconnect it.
≥When attaching or removing battery, set [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to 
[OFF] and make sure the Operation Mode Lamp is not lit.
≥When the Palmcorder is used for a long time, the Camera body becomes 
warm, but this is not a malfunction.
≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up, although the Battery is attached to 
the AC Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charging Time and Available Recording Time 
A Charging Time
B Maximum Continuous Recording Time
≥“1 h 20 min.” indicates 1 hour and 20 minutes.
≥Battery CGR-D16 is supplied.
≥The hours shown in the table are approximate hours. The numeric 
characters in parentheses indicate the recording time when the LCD 
monitor is used. In actual use, the available recording time may be shorter 
in some cases.
≥The hours shown in the table are for continuous recording at a temperature 
of 68xF (20xC) and humidity of 60%. If the Battery is charged at a higher or 
lower temperature, the charging time may be longer.

String holder.
2Pass the other end of the String through the loop made by 
the String itself and pull it toward the direction indicated by 
an arrow.
≥The removed Lens Cap can be hooked onto the Easy-Grip Strap 1. (When 
you are not recording, be sure to keep the Lens Cap attached to the Lens

it.
2Reattach the tip of the Easy-Grip Strap.
ªTo Use as a Free Style Easy-Grip Strap
Using the Easy-Grip Strap as the Free Style Easy-Grip Strap makes it easier 
to handle and carry the Palmcorder. 1 It is also more convenient to use with 
the MagicWire Remote Control.
1Detach the tip of the Easy-Grip Strap from the Lens Cap 
String Holder and adjust the length of it.
2Attach the Easy-Grip Strap around your wrist.

Strap Holders on the Palmcorder and pull the Shoulder 
Strap.
2Fold the tips of the Shoulder Strap, pass it through the 
Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster, and pull it.

starting to record.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Go Back in:
≥Press the [PUSH CLOSE] mark and close the Cassette Compartment 
Cover firmly.
≥Turn off the Palmcorder and then turn it on again.

again.
≥Check if the Battery is weak.
ªAccidental Erasure Prevention
Opening the accidental erasure prevention slider 1 on the cassette (by 
sliding it in the [SAVE] arrow direction) prevents recording. To enable 
recording, close the accidental erasure protection slider (by sliding it in the
