15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on
the apparatus.
16. VENTILATION:
Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the CAMCORDER and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. Never
place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface: on or near a
radiator or heat register. This CAMCORDER
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.
17. POWER SOURCES:
The CAMCORDER should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on
the label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply at your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
A CAMCORDER is intended to be operated
from battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.
18. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER may be equipped with
either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other)
or a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug
having a third (grounding) pin. 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
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
19. 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
or plugs, convenient receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the unit.
20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire and supporting structure, grounding
of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding to
conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See figure below.
21. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER
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 CAMCORDER due to lightning and
powerline surges.
22. POWER LINES:
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits
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.
