happens, restore the power supply again immediately.

USING HOUSE CURRENT

FOR THE CUSTOMERS SUPPLIED WITH THE AC-V25A/V25B/V25C AC POWER ADAPTER

1.  Lift up the viewfinder.

2.  Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet.  Connect the bottom of the
    AC power adaptor to the battery mounting surface of the camcorder.

3.  Set the selector to VTR (DC OUT).

WARNING:  The power cord must only be changed at a qualified service shop.

PRECAUTION:  The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains)
             as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the set
             itself has been turned off. 

NOTES:  The POWER lamp will remain lit for a while even if the unit is
        unplugged after use.  This is normal.

        If the POWER lamp does not light, set the selector to the center
        positions (AC-V25A/V25B/V25C only) and disconnect the power cord.
        After about one minute, reconnect the power cord and set the
        selector to VTR (DC OUT) again.

TO REMOVE THE ADAPTER

The adapter is removed in the same way as the battery pack.
