camcorder (this will be at your own expense). 
Note: Do not let the batteries or the terminals of the camcorder get dirty. If they are dirty, use a dry cloth to 
wipe off the dirt completely. 
Note: It is recommended that you use a battery pack to power the camcorder when using a DC camera light. 
If a camera light is used when the camcorder is powered by batteries, the required supply voltage will be very 
short and the camcorder will turn off soon. 
Note: When the batteries are used to power the camcorder in a cold place, it may not operate normally; the 
operation time may become extremely short or the camcorder may not be turned on. It is recommended that 
you use a battery pack to power the camcorder in a cold place. (At 50°F (10°C), the chemical reaction 
decreases the capacity of battery to one-tenth when compared to that at normal temperature 68°F (20°C).) 
Note: Noise may appear momentarily in the viewfinder when recording is started or stopped. 
Note: Be careful when touching the batteries with your bare hand to remove them as they are warm during 
and just use. 
Note: Since the supply voltage from batteries decreases more abruptly when compared to that from a battery 
pack, the battery remaining level indicator (

) may not flash in the viewfinder, noise may occur, the picture 

and sound may not be recorded normally and/or the power may be turned off soon. These phenomena occur 
because the capacity of batteries becomes low. So turn the power switch off and replace the batteries. If the 
power switch is left turned on in this state, the power may turn on temporarily and turn off again repeatedly. 
Note: Be sure not to short, disassemble, heat or throw batteries into fire. This is very dangerous. 

1. Plug the AC adapter/charger power cord into an AC outlet. Make sure that the wide blade fits into the wide slot. 
If it doesn't fit try reversing it. If you still cannot make fit the blades fully into the outlet either contact an electrician 
to replace your obsolete outlet, or use a polarized cord or outlet accessory. 
2. Connect one end of the DC cord (provided) to the DC IN jack of the camcorder. Connect the other end of the 
DC cord to the DC OUTPUT of the AC adapter/charger. 

Note: The AC adapter/charger can be used around the world. An AC plug adapter is required in some foreign 
countries. If you need one purchase it at your Hitachi distributor. 

 

Note: The battery level indicator sometimes displays the partial charge symbol when using the AC 
adaptor/charger. Ignore this indicator when using the AC adaptor/charger.
