For Your
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
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from the power source indicated
on the unit or in this manual. If necessary,
have your Electric 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.
INSTALLATION
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 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 should 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 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 radiator, 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 a 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.
2
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 Electrical
Code) 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.
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
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.
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 service 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
•
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set
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.
1 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 service technician.
2 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.
3 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 ensure
that the video unit is in safe operating condition.
