FULLY INSERT.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully

before operating and using your video product.

Installation

1 Read and Follow Instructions- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the

video product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.

2 Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. 3 Heed Warnings-Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating instructions. 4 Polarization- This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating -current line plug (a plug

having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an extension cord, use a polarized cord.

5 Power Sources-This video product should be operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation,
