Pelco Manual C673M (2/01) 7
Condensation is likely to occur when:
• The VCR is moved from a cold room to a warm room or from outdoors to indoors.
•A cold room is heated quickly.
• The humidity is very high.
Avoid using the VCR where cold air (such as from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.
Cleaning
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent and water. Wipe dry. NEVER
use petroleum-based solutions.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Pelco as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by Pelco or sold with the
VCR. Follow Pelco’s instructions when mounting equipment, and use a mounting accessory
recommended by Pelco.
Do Not Place Anything Heavy On The VCR
Heavy objects placed on the VCR will damage it.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation and prevent it from overheating. Do
not block these openings. Never place the VCR near or over a radiator or heat register. Do
not place it in a built-in installation such as a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
Pelco’s instructions have been followed. There are many ventilation holes on the bottom of
the VCR—for maximum ventilation, place it on a hard level surface only.
Grounding or Polarization
This VCR has a three-wire grounding-type plug—a plug with a third (grounding) pin. As a
safety feature, this plug fits only into a grounding-type outlet. If you cannot insert the plug
into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Lightning/Power Surges
Unplug the VCR for additional protection during lightning storms or when it is unused for
long periods. Pelco recommends using conditioned-output uninterruptible power supplies
(UPS) and/or surge protected outputs to maximize protection of the VCR.
When Not In Use
When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire and
electric shock.
Foreign Objects
Never push objects of any kind into the VCR through openings. They may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could cause a fire or electric shock, or damage the
mechanism.
Care of Video Cassette Tape
•Avoid violent vibration and shock.
• Do not place near a strong magnetic field (near a motor, transformer, or magnet).
• Never place or store in direct sunlight.
•Avoid dusty places.
• Place the cassette in the cassette case and store vertically.
• Never store tapes in humid locations.
