Precautions
WORTH
knowing
Please keep the video's guarantee sheet (pages 29 and 30) and receipt for your video
in a safe place.
◆ Read this booklet carefully.
◆ Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches
that shown on the back of the video recorder.
◆ Read this chapter and the "Setting up your video" chapter to help
you set up and adjust your video recorder.
◆ Do not put the video recorder in a hot or humid place (to avoid the
risk of fire and electric shock).
◆ Do not open the video recorder. Get a qualified technician to carry
out any repairs.
◆ Do not connect the video recorder to the power supply if you have
just moved it from a cold environment to a warm room. This can
lead to condensation inside the video which can seriously damage
the video and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach
room temperature.
◆ Put the video on a steady, flat surface.
◆ Make sure there is good ventilation all around the video.
◆ Only clean the video with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh or
alcohol-based cleaning agents.
For your own safety!
◆ There are no components in this video recorder you can
service or repair yourself.
◆ Do not open the case of the video recorder. Only allow a
qualified engineer to repair or service your video.
◆ This video recorder is designed to work continuously.
Switching it off (onto stand-by) does not disconnect it
from the mains. To disconnect it from the mains, you
have to unplug it.
The power cable must be fitted with a fused plug
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and provided with a
5A fuse.
The fuse cover must always be securely replaced. If the
video recorder is not working, the fuse may need
replacing (see also “Electrical connection” on page 26).
