PREPARATIONS AC Operation POWER lamp To plug outlet DC INPUT connector AC adapter DC OUT connector Ferrite core DC cable Core filter (gray) The GY-HD110 is operable with AC power supply or battery pack. Use the supplied AC adapter as the AC power supply. 1. After making sure that the power switches of the GY- HD110 and of the AC adapter are set to OFF, connect the DC cable from the AC adapter to the DC INPUT connector of the GY-HD110 as shown in the illustration. 2. Press the POWER switch of the GY-HD110 to ON. Power is supplied to the VTR section and the camera. CAUTION • When using the DC cable make sure to connect the end of the cable with the ferrite core to the AC adapter. • Do not remove or connect the DC cable while recording is being performed. • Do not use any power source with large fluctuations in the power source voltage, power sources generating noise, such as ripples or power sources with lower voltage. Attach the supplied core filter (gray) as shown in the diagram on the right to reduce unwanted electromagnetic emission. z Attach the core filter as shown in the diagram on the left to this unit as near as possible. „ Charging the Built-in Battery The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data. The built-in battery is constantly being charge whenever the GY-HD110 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-HD110 is disconnected from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GYHD110 is not used for about three months, in which case the set date and time and time code data are reset. In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and time code data again. However, it is possible to use the GY-HD110 even if the builtin battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data cannot be recorded. „ How to charge 1. Connect the provided AC adapter to the GY-HD110 and an AC outlet or mount a charged battery on the GYHD110. 2. Set the POWER switch on the GY-HD110 to "ON" or "OFF" (charging takes places with the POWER switch set to either of the positions.) 3. Leave the equipment in this condition for about 4 hours. • The built-in battery will remain charged for about 3 months after being charged for about 4 hours. 32 Battery Operation AC outlet AC cord AC adapter CHARGE lamp 1 POWER lamp CHARGE lamp 2 Connector PREPARATIONS Battery pack Battery pack Lock release lever „ Charging the Battery Pack Before use the battery pack should be charged using the provided AC Adapter. * Be sure to pull the DC cable out of the AC adapter when you charge the battery. 1. Plug the AC cable of the AC Adapter into an AC outlet. The POWER lamp illuminates. 2. While pushing the battery pack down, slide it in the direc- tion of the arrow to mount it on the AC Adapter. Charging starts, and the CHARGE lamp blinks green. It changes to light steadily when charging is completed. 3. When charging is completed, remove the battery pack by sliding it in the opposite direction of the mounting direction. „ Attaching the Battery Pack on the GYHD110 If the DC cable is connected to the GY-HD110, unplug the cable. 1. Hold the battery pack with the connector side facing the GY-HD110. 2. While pressing the battery pack against the GY-HD110, slide it downward to attach it to the GY-HD110. „ Detaching the Battery Pack from the GYHD110 Ensure that the POWER switch on the GY-HD110 is set to OFF. 1. While sliding the battery pack lock release lever, slide the battery pack upward to remove it. CAUTION Do not detach the battery pack while recording is taking place. MEMO • Do not connect or disconnect the DC cable while operating with a battery pack. The following symptoms may occur if the DC cable is connected or disconnected while operating with a battery pack. • The power is cut off for a moment when the DC cable is disconnected. • Noise to the video and audio signals occurs. Audio signal are muted. • When operation is continued with DC input after the battery pack capacity has been used up, set the POWER switch to OFF after the DC power is applied. Then switch ON again. • If the GY-HD110 is left with the battery pack attached, a small amount of power is consumed even if the POWER switch on the GY-HD110 is set to OFF. Remove the battery pack when the GY-HD110 is not going to be used. 33
