• Do not spill liquid of any kind onto the unit. If liquid is accidently spilled onto the unit, immediately remove the
mains plug from the supply socket, and consult a qualified service engineer.

• MOISTURE CONDENSATION: If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the
surface of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the video recorder, will cause damage to the tape. Whenever the video recorder is exposed to
extreme cold and heat at the same time, some condensation will occur. When moisture is present, turn the power
switch on, and allow at least 2 hours for the video recorder to dry out.

• Use the video recorder in a horizontal (flat) position only.

• Before operating,remove any paper wrapping whichmay have been affixed to the recorder during manufacture. DO
NOT COVER VENTILATION OPENINGS ON TOP AND SIDES OF THE RECORDER DURING OPERATION.

• When a cassette is inserted into the loading compartment, the power is switched on automatically as long as the

OUTSIDE ANTENNA, EQUIPMENT, AND POWER EXPOSURE

1. ENSURESAFEANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
If anoutsideantenna or cable system is connected to the set, be suretheantenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up
static charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code.
ANSI/NEPA No. 70-1984, 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 togroundingelectrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode:
See figure1for items a-d below.
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) aluminum. No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) No. 17-AWG

(10mm2) copper-cladsteelor bronze wire, or larger, as ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators

spaced from4feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.

c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters

house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the

equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See NEC
Section 810-21(I).

2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SOURCES OR
CHANCE OFACCIDENTALCONTACT BY INSTALLER
An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be reached by
power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these
power sources if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possiblefatal
contact by touching power lines, circuits or other power sources when installing
outside antenna.

Lightning–For addedprotectionfor this set 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 set due to
lightning andpower-linesurges.
