Connect to AC Adapter: Connect the barrel connector from the NP-FZ100 DC Coupler cable into the DC output port of the AC-FZ100 AC Power Adapter.
Connect to Power Outlet: Attach the power cable to the AC-FZ100 AC Power Adapter's input port. Then, plug the other end of the power cable into a standard wall power outlet (100V-240VAC).
Power On: Turn on your camera. The camera should now receive continuous power from the AC adapter.

Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the cables excessively. Do not pull on the cables to disconnect them; always grasp the plug.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the cables and connectors for any signs of damage, such as fraying or exposed wires. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FOTGA AC-FZ100 power adapter kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Camera does not power on.	Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the AC adapter and the wall outlet. Verify the DC coupler is correctly inserted into the camera's battery compartment and the door is closed. Check if the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device. Ensure the camera's power switch is in the "ON" position.
Intermittent power supply.	Check all cable connections for looseness. Inspect cables for damage (fraying, cuts). Replace if damaged. Ensure the DC coupler is firmly seated in the camera's battery slot.
Adapter feels warm during use.	It is normal for the adapter to feel slightly warm during operation. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and contact support. Ensure adequate ventilation around the adapter.
