IMPORTANT-SAFEGUARDS

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video product, safety is a

m_jor factor in the design of every instrument. But, safety is your responsibility too. This page lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of a Video Cassette

Recorder and accessory equipment. Please read it carefully before operating your video product and keep it in a handy

place for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1 Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety

and operating instructions should be read before the video product is operated. Follow-all operating and use

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 Polarized Plug - 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 should still fail

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 in-

serted without blade exposure. If

you need an extension, 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. 6 Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and

extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets and extension

cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs.

They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord and have it replaced by your service technician if appearance indicates damage or deterio-

rated insulation.

7 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed sothat they arenot likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,

paying particular attention to cords at plugs, con- venience receptacles, and the point where they exit

from the appliance. 8 Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating.

These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video

product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over

a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or

rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer's instructions have been

followed.

9 Attachments- Do not use attachments unless

recommended by the video product manufacturer as

they may cause hazards.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline oper-

ated equipment or accessories connected to this unit

should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or

fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

10 Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product nearwater. For example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or

near a swimming pool, and the like.

11 Accessories - Do not placethis video product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a

child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-

ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the product should follow the

manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

11AAn appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

et)

I&l

12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,

provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re- quirements for the grounding electrode. See example

below.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

16 Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug

it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable-system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
