Important Safeguards and Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND
ON THE UNIT
I INSTALLATION [
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from a power source indicated on the
unit or in this manual.
If necessary, have your Electdc Utility Service
Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power
source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this Video product comes with
either a polarized power cord plug (one blade is
wider than the other), or a three-wire grounding type
plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you
cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will
not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet.
Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the
plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper
outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering
with the plug•
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are muted so that they are
not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over
them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also has
either a polarized or grounded plug and that the
cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
Ovedoaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Vantilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated dudng operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may
result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.
For protection follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in
use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b• Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or
rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater
or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a dosed
vehicle, etc.. Do not move the unit suddenly between
areas of extreme temperature variation. If the unit is
suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place,
moisture may condense in the unit and on the tape.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping
surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support that is not
firm, level and adequately strong. The unit could fall
causing serious injury to child or
adult and damage to the unit.
• 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
ovedum.
• Carefully follow all operating
instructions and use the manufacturer's
recommended accessories when operating this unit
or connecting it to any other equipment.
I OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION I
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outside antenna or cable _ •
system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the
antenna or cable systam, is _
grounded so as to provide
some protection against _------_J'/ _ _=_=,=r
bullt up static charges and I _ ]l_,,f] _=_aoN=,._
voltage surges Section 810 I _ [ Z..,_=,._=_ee_=_
• " . _ )
of the National Electncal _ _'L'----._i/"7"_/"J
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in _ [_:_==_.._=u=_
Canada, pad I of the | __aaoug_
Canadian Electrical Code) _c .,=,_.,u_,_co_ _c*_ra=,,_rr_
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
suppoding 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 requirements for the grounding
electrode.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never some into contact with
these power sources ifit should happen to fall• When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.
I USING THE VIDEO UNIT I
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the
INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1 KEEP THIS VIDEO UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE
OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unitand have it inspected by a qualified
service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or before leaving the

4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE if liquid has
been spilled into the unit. Immediately unplug the unit, and have it
inspected by a service technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from
electrical shorts caused by liquid contact inside.
• Never drop or press any object through openings in the unit. Soma intemal
pads carry hazardous voltages and contact can cause electric shock or fire
hazard.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set as this may
cause electrical interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic
equipment.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
