Important Safeguards and Precautions

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 firmly 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 fits into outlet one way. If it cannot be fully

inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, 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, fire or personal injury:

- Keep power cord away from heating appliances and walking traffic. 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 is a

fire hazard.

- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified 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 lire 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 PLACEMENT AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS

OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place unit over or near a heater or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles, in high temperature [over 95“F (SS^C)], or in over 75% humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, moisture may condense in unit and on the tape causing damage. Never subject unit to vibration, impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may

be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Never place unit on support or stand that is not

firm, 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 I

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/NFPA70 (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, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for Ihe grounding electrode.

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.

• If using, a DSS receiver, it must be turned off for auto clock set.

• If Cable Box or DSS receiver is connected to the unit via Audio/Video Jacks, an RF coaxial cable must also be connected for auto clock set and channel auto set features.

• If, for any reason, the time is changed manually, automatic time correction will not occur.
