■ AC Adaptor Precautions
• Be sure to turn off power before connecting or
disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the
AC adaptor, even if the camera has a battery installed. If
you don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you
disconnect the AC adaptor. You also run the risk of
damaging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC
adaptor without first turning power off.
• The AC adaptor may become warm to touch after
extended periods of use. This is normal and is not cause
for alarm.
• After using the camera, turn it off and unplug the AC
adaptor from the AC outlet.
• The camera automatically switches over to AC adaptor
powered operation whenever the AC adaptor is plugged
into the camera.
• Use of the AC adaptor to power the camera is
recommended when connected to a computer.
• Never place a blanket or any other cover on the AC
adaptor. Doing so creates the risk of fire.
Turning the Camera On and Off
Press the power button to turn on the camera, which
causes the operation lamp to light green momentarily.
Press the power button again to turn off the camera.
Opening the monitor screen also turns on the camera, and
