Important Safeguards and Precautions
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO
THIS PRODUCT, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE PRODUCT.
INSTALLATION
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.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot
fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit,
have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not
defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet.
Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the 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 operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures 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, rug,
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
radiator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed 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.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not place unsecured equipment on a
sloping surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support
that is not firm, level, and adequately
strong. The unit could fall causing
serious injury to a child or adult and
damage to the unit.
• 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.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the
manufacturer's recommended accessories when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other
equipment.
USING THE VIDEO UNIT
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer
first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1 KEEP THIS VIDEO UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR
MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by
a qualified service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or
before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time,
disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as
the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE
if liquid has been spilled into the unit. Immediately unplug
the unit, and have it inspected by a service technician.
Fire and shock hazards can result from electrical shorts
caused by liquid contact inside.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in the
unit. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and
contact can cause electric shock or fire hazard.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set
as this may cause electrical interference.
Keep all magnets away from electronic equipment.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING THE UNIT
Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth
to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fluids,
aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into the unit
and cause electrical shock. Any substance such as wax,
adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to
greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.
SERVICE
1 DO NOT SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following the detailed operating
instructions, this Video product does not operate properly,
do not attempt to open or remove covers, or make any
adjustments not described in the manual. Unplug the unit
and contact a qualified service technician.
2 IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified by
the manufacturer, or those having the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. The use of unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
3 HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK
After any service or repairs to the unit, request the service
technician to conduct a thorough safety check as described
in the manufacture’s service literature to ensure that the
video unit is in safe operating condition.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1 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.
2
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 will 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 professional.
