EXCEPTION:
A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of
the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other
purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments
-Do not use attachments not recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories
-Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, 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 appliance should
follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
9. Ventilation
-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video
product and to protect it from overheating, and these opening 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 not be placed in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have
been adhered to.
10. 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 appliance dealer or local power company.
For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or 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 should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. 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.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the VCR, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard to 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning
-For added protection for this VCR 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
VCR due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines
-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading
-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
17. Object and Liquid Entry
-Never push objects of any kind into this video product through any 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 video product.
