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. But, safety is your responsibility too.
This page lists important information that will help to assure your
enjoyment and proper use of a Video Cassette Recorder and accessory
equipment. Please read it carefully before operating your video product
and keep it in a handy place for future reference.
INSTALLATION
1 Read and Follow Instructions -- All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the video product is operated.
Follow all operating and use instructions.
2 Retain Instruction -- The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3 Heed Warnings -- Comply with all warnings on the video product
and in the operating instructions.
4 Polarized Plug -- 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. 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, use a polarized cord.
5 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 video
dealer or local power company. For video products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
6 Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets
and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs. They may
result in shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord and have
it replaced by your service technician if appearance indicates damage
or deteriorated insulation.
