Installation
Considerations
Before you install your VCR...
Ventilation
-- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through perfora-
tions in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your VCR.
Power Source -- Your VCR is designed to oper-
ate on normal household current, 120 volt 60
Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC cur-
rel_t.
Power Cord -- Your VCR power cord has a po-
_
arized plug as required by Underwriters'
Labora-
tories. It has one regular blade and one wide
blade and fits only one way into a standard electri-
cal outlet. If the blades will not enter either way,
your outlet is very old and non-standard. A new outlet should
I:e installed by a qualified electrician.
Safe Operation
-- Your VCR is manufactured
A
nd tested with your safety in mind. However, un-
usual stress caused by dropping or mishandling,
exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or acci-
dental spilling: of liquids into the VCR, can result in potential
electrical shock or fire hazards. If this happens, have your
VCR checked by a service technician before using it again.
].:'lease read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
".rips" folder when installing and using your VCR.
•
Plugging in Your VCR -- Be sure to plug your VCR into
an "unswitched'" AC power source. The "switched" AC
outlets found on some video equipment will not continue
supplying power to the VCR once the equil')ment is turned
off. If the power to the VCE is interrupted for an extended
time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.
•
Keep the video recorder and video cassette away from
strong magnetic fields.
•
Use only Zenith approved :and recommended accessory
units with your Zenith vide,o recorder to avoid potential
hazards.
•
Save the shipping carton and packing material. They will
come in handy if you ever have to ship your video re-
corder. For maximum prolection, re-pack the:video re-
corder as it was originally shipped from the factory.
Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following
conditions:
•
When the video recorder i:; moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
•
Under extremely humid conditions.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
•
Keep the :power cord plugl_,ed into an AC. outlet and the
POWER .switch set to ON. This will help prevent con-
densation from occurring.
•
When condensation has occurred, it will not evaporate
quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few hours
for the vMeo recorder to l:ecome dry betore using the
video recorder.
