Important Safeguar ds and Precautions

READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANU AL 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 fire 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

A VOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCA TIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERA TURE 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

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,
connection 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.
