unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. Any mounting
of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions
and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. An 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.
9 ) Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the video unit and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never
place the video unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC (Alternating
Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other) or 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
The 3-wire grounding type plug will fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

repairs to this video unit, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the video unit is
in safe operating order.
Precautions
USE & LOCATION
≥TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD... Your Camera/Recorder
and power supply should not be exposed to rain or
moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your
Camera/Recorder if it gets wet. Your Camera/Recorder
has been designed for outdoor use, however it is not
designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet,
snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even
a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the
internal parts of your Camera/Recorder. Do not attempt to
disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Unplug your Camera/Recorder from the power
supply before cleaning.
≥DO NOT AIM YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER AT THE SUN
OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS.
≥DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMERA/RECORDER WITH THE
EVF AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE
EVF.
≥DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER TO
EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct
sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This
action could permanently damage the internal parts of your
Camera/Recorder.
≥AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the
unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place,
moisture may form on the tape and inside the unit.
≥DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER OR THE
POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.
≥STORAGE OF YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER ... Store and
handle your Camera/Recorder in a manner that will not
subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and
striking). Your Camera/Recorder contains a sensitive pickup device which could be damaged by improper handling
or storage.
CARE
≥TO CLEAN YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER... Do not use
strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning your Camera/
Recorder body.
≥TO PROTECT THE LENS... Do not touch the surface of
the lens with your hand. Use a commercial Camera/
Recorder lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the
lens. Improper cleaning can scratch the lens coating.
≥TO PROTECT THE FINISH OF YOUR CAMERA/
RECORDER... Before handling your Camera/Recorder,
make sure your hands and face are free from any chemical
products, such as suntan lotion, as it may damage the
finish.
