INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS
IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the equipment,
be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some
protection against built up static

charges and voltage surges.

Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code) provides information

with respect 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.

KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES

OR CIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it virill never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits
or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards
involved, antenna installation should be left to a protessional.

USING THE VIDEO UNIT

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from a power source indicated on

the unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your

Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products
Dealer verify the power source in your home.

2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG

As a safety feature, this Video product comes with either
a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the
other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

3 POWER CORD

Make sure power cords are routed so that
they are not likely to have anything rest on them,
roll over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also

has either a polarized or grounded plug and that
the cords can be securely connected.

Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or

cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during (deration. If they are blocked,
heat build-up inside the unit can cause tailures that
may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.

For protection, follow these rules;

a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit

while in use, or operate the unit when placed

on a bed, sofa, mg, or other soft surface.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case

or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided,

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater

or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a dosed vehicle, etc..
Do not move the unit suddenly between areas
of extreme temperature variation. If the unit is suddenly
moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense in the unit and on the tape.
