Safety
• Position your Video so that no
bright light or sunlight falls directly
onto it.
• Care should be taken not to
expose your Video to any
unnecessary vibration, moisture,
dust or heat.
• During electrical storms it is
advisable to unplug both the aerial
cable and mains plug to prevent
accidental damage to your Video
and TV.
• Do not operate your Video if it is
damaged.
• If your Video still does not operate
properly, unplug it and call your
dealer. Your Video should not be
repaired by anyone except
qualified service personnel.
• Never remove the top cover of
your Video as this can expose you
to very high voltage and other
hazards.
• Ensure that your Video is placed in
a position to allow a free flow of
air.
• The apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing
and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
• Touch current is higher than
recommended limit value in
tropical climates, but does not
make delectric shock to users.
Cleaning
1 Unplug the Video from the mains
supply.
2 Clean the cabinet with a soft
damp cloth, do not apply liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Never spray cleaning liquids on or
near the Video.
Video head cleaning
High quality video tapes will not
normally deposit dirt onto the video
heads, but old or damaged tapes
may. This dirt can accumulate on the
video heads after a long period of
time and cause the picture to
become blurred or broken up.
To clean the video heads use a video
heads cleaning tape available from
electrical stores.
The cord grip for the plug fitted to this
product is built into the existing power
cord as supplied. If, for any reason you
need to shorten the cord.
A new plug must be used to ensure
your continued safety by securing the
plug to the power cord in accordance
with Plug & Socket Regulations 1994.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
DO NOT RE-USE THE PLUG.
