Use

[ Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or
local power company. For those sets designed to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.

[ Polarization

This set may be equipped with a polarized ac
power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other).

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.

[ Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.

[ Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.

[ Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

2

[ Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened
with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.

Installation

[ Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water –
for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.

[ Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the appliance.

[ Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious
damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.

[ Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never
be blocked or covered.

–Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth

or other materials.

–Never block the slots and openings by placing

the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface.

–Never place the set in a confined space, such as a

bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.

–Do not place the set near or over a radiator or

heat register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.

[ Lightning

For added protection for this set during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the set due to
lightning and power-line surges.

Service

[ Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

–When the power cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

into the set.
–If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
–If the set has been subject to excessive shock by

being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
–If the set does not operate normally when

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are specified in the operating

instructions. Improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the set to normal operation.
– When the set exhibits a distinct change in

performance – this indicates a need for service.

[ Servicing

Do not attempt to service the set yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

[ Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

[ CAUTION

You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.

The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof,
however, that these low power wireless devices
are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does
not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research.
DSC-G1 has been tested and found to comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.
