the right of the machine. 
4. Connect the external power adapter plug to the DC OUTPUT jack 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 partial charge symbol when using the AC 
adaptor/charger. Ignore this indicator when using the AC adaptor/charger. 

The camera/recorder can be powered with six alkaline dry-cell batteries inserted into the 
optional battery case (Hitachi VM-BP86C) which can be attached to the camera/recorder. The 
operation time of the camera/recorder depends on the type of alkaline batteries used. Please 
ensure that the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or 
detaching any power supply (ie. battery, AC adapter/charger, etc.)
