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.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded 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 and supporting structure, grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See figure below.
21. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the CAMCORDER due to lightning
and powerline surges.
22. POWER LINES:
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.
23. OVERLOADING:
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
24. OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS:
Never push objects of any kind into this CAMCORDER
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out a part that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the
CAMCORDER. Should spillage occur, unplug unit and
have it checked by a technician before use.
25. SERVICING:
Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself.

instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the
CAMCORDER to its normal operation.Z
e. If the CAMCORDER has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the CAMCORDER exhibits a distinct
change in performance, this indicates a need for
service.
27. REPLACEMENT PARTS:
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
