Introduction
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 shock or
fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord and have it replaced by your
service technician if appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation.
7 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 at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
8 Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect
it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This video product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer's
instructions have been followed.
9 Attachments -- Do not use attachments unless recommended by the
video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
