ATTENTION:
This AC power adapter cannot be used as an AC adapter for
types of camcorder that perform recharging with the battery
attached to the camcorder unit, therefore the DC OUT terminal
on the AC power adapter is not used.
If your camcorder does not support charging while the battery
is attached to the camcorder, and you are already using the
AA-V15U or AA-V16U, you can connect a DC cord to this AC
power adapter's DC OUT terminal and use it as an AC
adapter.
For more details, please refer to your camcorder's instruction
manual.
