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. However, safety is
your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your
enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them
carefully before operating and using your video product.

Installation

1

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

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 hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician

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 video product.

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 instruction’s have been followed. 

9  

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

10

tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool
and the like.  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 be modified so as to defeat the safety features.
This  will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact
qualified service personnel.

11

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 as well as

manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and  use a

force, and uneven  surfaces may cause the video product and cart combination to overturn.

13

Power Lines- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, 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 or approaching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a
professional antenna installer.
