Important Safeguards and Precautions

READ AND RETAIN ALU SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN MANUAL AND ON UNIT

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from power source indicated on unit or in this manual. If uncertain, have an Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify your home power source.

2 POWER CORD PLUG

For safety, this unit comes with a polarized type plug (one wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTfON: 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

Make sure power cords are routed so they are not likely to have anything rest on them,roll over them, or be in the way of walking traffic. An extension cord should have the same type plug (polarized or grounding)

and must be securely connected. Overloading* wait outlets or extension cords may cause 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 fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.

For your protecfton;

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 property ventilated,

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place unit over or near a heater or

regulator, in direct sunlight, etc. If unit is

suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm

place, moisture may condense in unit and on the tape causing damage.

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

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, (ocation of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS Locale 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.
