IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In these safety instructions the word "product" refers
to the Canon 8mm Video Camcorder
ES280A/ES180A and all its accessories.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before the
product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the product
and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions — All operating and
maintenance instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. The product should be
cleaned only as recommended in this manual.
6. Accessories — Do not use accessories not
recommended in this manual as they may be
hazardous.
7. Avoid magnetic or electric fields — Do not use
the camera close to TV transmitters, portable
communication devices or other sources of
electric or magnetic radiation. They may cause
picture interference, or permanently damage
the camera.
8. Water and Moisture — Hazard of electric shock
— Do not use this product near water or in
rainy/moist situations.
9. Placing or Moving — Do not place on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table.
The product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the
product.
A product and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to
overturn.
10. Power Sources — The CA-R300A Compact
Power Adapter 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
product dealer or local power company.
Regarding other power sources such as battery
power, refer to instructions in this manual.
11. Polarization — The CA-R300A Compact Power
Adapter is equipped with a polarized 2-prong
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other).
The 2-prong polarized 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 still fails
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power Cord Protection — Power cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to plugs
and the point from which the cords exit the
product.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside
antenna is connected to the product, be sure
the antenna is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA No. 70—1984,
provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See figure 1.

product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, disconnect it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
