ensure reliable operation of the CAMCORDER and to protect
it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. Never place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat register. This
CAMCORDER should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

POWER SOURCES:
The
CAMCORDER should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other) or a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. 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 outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
19.
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 or plugs, convenient
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

An
outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
