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 a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord and have it
replaced by your service technician if appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation.
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 appliance.
8 Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable 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
instructions have been followed.
9 Attachments -- Do not use attachments unless recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
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 have been modified so as to defeat
the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified
service personnel.

sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
