IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video product, safety is a 
major factor in the design of every instrument.  But, safety is your responsibility too. 
This page lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of a Video Cassette 
Recorder and accessory equipment.  Please read it carefully before operating your video product and keep it in a handy 
place for future reference. 

INSTALLATION 

1  Read and Follow Instructions

 -- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the video product is 

operated.  Follow all operating and use instructions.

2  

Retain Instruction

 -- 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  Polarized Plug

 -- 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 should still fail 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, 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 and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  

Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire 
insulation and broken plugs.  They may result in a shock or fire hazard.  Periodically examine the cord and have it 
replaced by your service technician if appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation.

7  Power Cord Protection

 -- Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or 

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, 
and the point where they exit from the appliance. 

8  Ventilation

 -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video 

product and to protect it from overheating.  These openings must not be blocked or covered.  The openings should 
never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.  This video product should 
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.  This video product should not be placed in a built-in 
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer's 
instructions have been followed.

9  Attachments

 -- Do not use attachments unless recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause 

hazards.

Caution:

 Maintain electrical safety.  Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear 

the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to defeat 
the safety features.  This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire.  If in doubt, contact qualified 
service personnel. 

10  Water and Moisture

 -- Do not use this video product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen 

sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. 

11  Accessories

 -- Do not place this video product on an unstable card, stand, tripod, bracket or table.  The video 

product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.  Use only with a cart, 
stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video product.  Any mounting of the 
product should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the 
manufacturer. 

11A

  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.
