Powering Camcorder
How To Power Your Camcorder
You can power your camcorder three different ways:
AC Adapter/Charger
• The adapter/charger connects to
the camcorder and plugs into a
wall outlet. It lets you power the
camcorder off normal household
power (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz).
CAUTION: If you wish to operate the
AC adapter/charger on a power source
other than 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, use
only a transformer-type power converter.
Do not use “solid-state” or “switching­
type” power converters. They will
damage your AC adapter/charger. An
optional CPS08 adapter/charger may
be purchased from your RCA dealer.
The CPS08 is designed for use on 100­
240 volts, 50/60 Hz. See pages 44-45
for optional accessories.
Rechargeable Battery
The rechargeable 9.6-volt battery
lets you record outdoors or
anytime you’re away from
electrical outlets.
The supplied battery can be
charged and then connected to
the camcorder for portable use
indoors or outdoors.
Optional DC Car Cord
The optional DC car cord lets
you power the camcorder from
the cigarette lighter socket of a
car, truck, or RV.
You can also use the DC car
cord to connect your camcorder
to a long-play battery.
The DCC096 is specially
designed to convert 12-volts to
9.6-volts.
