Important Safeguards and Pre cau tions
READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON UNIT
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from power source indicated on unit or
in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify your home power source.
2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one
wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug. Always hold the plug fi rmly and make sure your hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC power
cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug. POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION: The plug fi ts into outlet one way. If it cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fi t, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper with the plug. GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION: The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against
electrical shock, fi re or personal injury:
- Keep power cord away from heating appliances and
walking traffi c. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the power cord.
- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
- An extension cord should have the same type plug
(polarized or grounding) and must be securely connected.
- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are fi re
hazards.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If blocked, heat
build-up may result in a fi re hazard or heat damage to
cassettes. For your protection: a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON, or
operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or
rack, unless properly ventilated.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANG ES
Do not place unit over or near a heater or ra di a tor, in
di rect sunlight, etc. If unit is sud den ly moved from a
cold place to a warm place, mois ture may condense in
unit and on the tape caus ing damage.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Never place unit on support or
stand that is not fi rm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.
• Move any appliance and
cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause objects to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating
instructions.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to
provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information regarding 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, con nec tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and
electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these power sources should it ever fall. When installing antenna, absolutely never touch power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal.
USING THE UNIT
Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location, refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safe guards.
1 KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE,
such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.
2 IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT,
unplug unit and have it inspected by a qualifi ed service technician before use.
3 ELECTRICAL STORMS During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for
extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• DO NOT OPERATE IF:
- liquid has spilled into unit.
- unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.
- unit emits smoke, malodors, or noises. Immediately unplug unit, and have it inspected by a service
technician to avoid potential fi re and shock hazards.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or fi re hazard.
• Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to avoid electrical interference.
5 USING ACCESSORIES Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of fi re, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING UNIT Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to
gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fl uids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance, such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.
