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.
