Important Safeguards
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 camcorder and accessory equipment. Please read it carefully before operating your video
product and keep it in a handy place for future reference.
INSTALLATION
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

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 a
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
