2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly set up your PowEver NP-FZ100 AC Power Adapter Dummy Battery Kit with your camera:

1. Connect the DC Coupler: Insert the small barrel connector from the dummy battery (DC coupler) into the DC output port of the AC adapter. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Insert Dummy Battery: Open the battery compartment door on your Sony camera. Insert the NP-FZ100 DC coupler (dummy battery) into the camera's battery slot, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
3. Route the Cable: Locate the small rubber flap or opening on your camera's battery compartment door. Carefully route the dummy battery cable through this opening. This allows the battery door to close completely while the cable remains connected.
4. Connect AC Power Cord: Plug the AC power cord into the AC adapter. Then, plug the other end of the AC power cord into a standard wall electrical outlet (AC 100-240V).
5. Verify Connection: Once all connections are made, power on your camera. The camera should indicate a full battery charge or external power supply, confirming successful setup.

3. Operating Instructions

Once the PowEver NP-FZ100 AC Power Adapter Dummy Battery Kit is correctly set up and connected to a power source, your camera will receive continuous power. There are no additional operating steps required for the adapter itself.

• Ensure the AC adapter is plugged into a functional wall outlet.
• Confirm that the camera's battery door is closed securely with the cable routed through the designated opening.
• Operate your camera as usual, enjoying extended usage without battery concerns.

Important: This device is an AC power adapter, not a battery charger. It does not charge your camera's internal battery. It provides direct power to the camera from an electrical outlet.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PowEver NP-FZ100 AC Power Adapter Dummy Battery Kit, please observe the following maintenance guidelines:

• Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapter and cables. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the adapter or dummy battery, as this can cause internal damage. Do not pull on the cables forcefully.
• Cable Integrity: Regularly inspect cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Discontinue use if damage is observed.
• Ventilation: Ensure the AC adapter has adequate ventilation during operation to prevent overheating.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PowEver NP-FZ100 AC Power Adapter Dummy Battery Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Powering On:
  • Ensure all connections (dummy battery to camera, DC coupler to AC adapter, AC adapter to wall outlet) are secure.
  • Verify that the wall outlet is functional by testing it with another device.
  • Confirm the camera's battery compartment door is fully closed with the cable properly routed.
  • Check if the camera itself is functioning correctly with a standard battery.
• Intermittent Power:
  • Check for loose connections at any point in the power chain.
  • Inspect cables for damage. A damaged cable can cause intermittent power.
• Adapter Feels Warm:
  • It is normal for the AC adapter to feel slightly warm during operation. However, if it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately.
  • Ensure the adapter is in a well-ventilated area and not covered.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
