2.
THE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED PLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug or a
3-wire grounding type plug.
The two wire polarized plug (having one blade wider than the other) will fit into the power
outlet only one way. If it is a three wire grounding
type plug (having a third pin), it will
fit into a grounding
type outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE
OF THE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED
PLUG by tampering
with it.
If the plug does not fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still be unable
to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may find that a proper outlet is needed to
meet today's Electrical Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.
3. POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and routed so that they are not likely to have anything
rest on them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or abuse: particularly at plug-ins, convenience
receptacles, or cord exit points from the unit. Where an extension is needed, use a grounded or polarized cord.
HAZARDOUS
FRAYED CORDS OR DAMAGED
PLUGS SHOULD BE REPLACED
BY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
OVERLOADED
WALL OUTLETS AND EXTENSION CORDS PRESENT DANGEROUS
RISKS OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
4.
AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION
HOLES
Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to release heat generated during operation. Blocking
these openings can cause heat build-up inside the unit, causing failures that may result in a fire hazard or
heat damage to cassettes. For protection:
a. Never cover the bottom ventilation slots or the unit with soft material, or operate the unit placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or soft accessory.
b. Avoid built-in installations,
such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5. AVOID EXTREMELY
HOT LOCATIONS
OR SUDDEN CHANGES
IN TEMPERATURE
such as placing the
unit near or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or transporting
it suddenly between areas of
extreme temperature
variation.
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside
the unit.
6. TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT; OR COSTLY DAMAGE:
a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface or any heavy object on unit.
(Use the unit in a horizontal position and do not place anything heavy on it.)
b. Support for unit should be adequately firm, level, and strong. Replace any unstable cart, table or support.
c. Carefully follow all operating instructions
and use the manufacturer's
recommended
accessories
when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.
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.
