PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide
blade of plug to wide slot of electrical outlet and insert fully.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate this VCR.
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:
œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ Avoid dusty or humid places. œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat
dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes.
œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only. œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations. œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations
(see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).
œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.
WARNING: Unauthorized recording or use of
television broadcast, video tape, film or other copyrighted material may violate applicable copyright laws. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for unauthorized duplication, use or other acts that infringe upon the rights of copyright owners.
Declaration of Conformity
Model Number : FVH-T619 Trade Name : Fisher Responsible party : SANYO FISHER COMPANY Address : 21605 Plummer Street,
Chatsworth, California 91311
Telephone No. : (818) 998-7322 œ This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity, dew (moisture) may form inside the unit. If you operate the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.
Avoiding Electric Shock or Fire
œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorized service center.
œ Do not place anything directly on top of the VCR.
Prevention:
1 Make all necessary connections. 2 Plug the power cord into a 120 V AC wall outlet. 3 Turn on the power. 4 Do not operate the VCR or insert a cassette for
approximately 2 hours.
This allows the VCR to warm up to the temperature of the room where it will be used.
