IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS pg. 4
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 Camera/Recorder 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 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.
