Installation

1

Read and Follow Instructions- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
video product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.

2

Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3

Heed Warnings-Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating instructions.

4

Polarization- This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating -current line 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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. To prevent
electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an extension cord, use
a polarized cord.

5

Power Sources-This video product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate  from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6

Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked
wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire harzard.
Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation,
