Using a Car Battery 
The camera/recorder can be powered with a car battery by using an optional car battery 
cord (Hitachi VM-CC80A) to plug the camera/recorder into the car's cigarette lighter 
socket. 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). 
Car Battery Cord Hookup 
1. Plug the car battery cord into the car's cigarette lighter socket. 
2. Align the arrow on the external power adapter with the guide arrow on the 
camera/recorder. 
3. Hold the external power adapter firmly against the camera/recorder while sliding it 
toward the right of the machine. 
4. Connect the external power adapter plug to the DC OUTPUT jack of the car battery 
cord. 
Note: Only use the car battery cord with cars having 12/24 volt negative ground system. 
Inserting and Removing Cassettes 
A power source must be connected before inserting or removing cassettes. Once 
connected cassettes can be inserted or removed whether the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO 
switch is on or off. 
Inserting a Cassette 
1. Slide the EJECT switch in the direction of the arrow. The cassette door opens 
automatically. 
2. Place the cassette in the cassette holder so that the transparent window faces away 
from the body of the camera/recorder and the sprockets toward the body of the 
camera/recorder. 
 
3. Push the cassette holder, which is embossed PUSH on the left hand side, until it 
"clicks" into place. The camera/recorder automatically closes. 
Caution: Be sure that you push the cassette holder embossed PUSH to close the holder. 
Otherwise, the holder will not click into place and the tape may be slack which could lead to 
damage.
