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

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from a power source indicated on the
unit or in this manual.
If necessary, have your Etectric 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 wail outlet.
Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the
plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hofe 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 routed 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 shouid be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause faiiures 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 reguiator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed
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
overturn,

• Carefully follow all operating
instructions and use the manufacturer’s
recommended accessories when operating this unit
or connecting it to any other equipment.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the
antenna 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/NFPA 70 (in
Canada, part 1 of the

Canadian Eiectrical Code) -«*tion«.el£ctr»c*lcode
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 to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

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 come into contact with
these power sources if it 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.

GROUND CLAMPS

POWER SERVICE QROUNDMQ
ELECTRODE SYSTEM
(NEC ART 2SQ, PART H)

USING THE VIDEO UNIT

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 unit and have it inspected by a qualified

sen/ice technician before use.

3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM

During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or before leaving the
unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the
power source as well as the antenna and cable system.

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. Some internal

parts 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

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire,
shock, or other hazards.

6 CLEANING THE UNIT

Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently
remove dust or debris, DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air

that could over-spray, or seep into the 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.

SERVICE

DO NOT SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF

If, after carefully following the detailed operating instructions, this Video

product does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove covers,
or make any adjustments not described in the manual. Unplug the unit and
contact a qualified sen/ice technician.

IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED

Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified by the manufacturer,
or those having the same safety characteristics as the original parts. The use of
unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards,

HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK

After any service or repairs to the unit, request the service technician to
conduct a thorough safety check as described in the manufacture's service
literature to insure that the video unit is in safe operating condition.
