Samsung HMX-H204BN - Manual (Page 8)

15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
VENTILATION:
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation to ensure reliable operation
of the CAMCORDER and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not
be blocked or covered. Never place your
CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat
register. This CAMCORDER should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
17. POWER SOURCES:
The CAMCORDER should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply
at your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. A CAMCORDER is
intended to be operated from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
18. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER may be equipped with
either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other) or a
3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
19. 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 or plugs, convenient
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire and supporting structure,
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding to conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See figure below.
21. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER
during a lightning storm or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the CAMCORDER due to lightning
and powerline surges.
22. POWER LINES:
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
