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.
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 Instructions - 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 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.
