OPERATE FROM A POWER SOURCE INDICATED on this
Video product, or in this Manual. Your Electric Utility Service
Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify the
power source in your home.
THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZED PLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
wire polarized plug {having one blade wider than the other)
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If it is a three wire
grounding type plug (having a third pin), it will fit into a
grounding type outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED PLUG by tampering with it. If the plug does not
fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still be
unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may find
that a proper outlet is needed to meet today's Electrical
Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.
POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and
routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on
them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or abuse:
particularly at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or cord exit
points from the unit. Where an extension is needed, use a
grounded or polarized cord.
HAZARDOUS FRAYED CORDS OR DAMAGED PLUGS
SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
OVERLOADED WALL OUTLETS AND EXTENSION CORDS
PRESENT DANGEROUS RISKS OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES
Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to
release heat generated during operation. Blocking these
openings can cause heat build-up inside the unit, causing
failure that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes. For protection:
a. Never cover the bottom ventilation slots or the unit with soft
material, or operate the unit placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or
soft accessory.
b. Avoid built-in installations, such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN
CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE such as placing the unit near
or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or
transporting it suddenly between areas of
extreme temperature variation.
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm place, moisture may form on the
tape and inside the unit.
TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT; OR
COSTLY DAMAGE:
a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface or
any heavy object or unit.
(Use the unit in a horizontal position and do not place
anything heavy on it.)
b. Support for the unit should be adequately firm, level, and
strong. Replace any unstable cart, table or support. 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.
c. Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the
manufacturer's recommended accessories when operating
this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.
