a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
8. Accessories - Do not place this VCR on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The VCR may fall, causing
serious injury to someone and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
VCR. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance
and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause an appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable oper-
ation of the VCR and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked by placing the VCR on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This VCR should never be placed near or over a radiator
or heat register. This VCR 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.
10. Power Source - This VCR 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 supplied to your home consult
your appliance dealer or local power company. For VCRs
intended to operate from battery power or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding and Polarization - This VCR 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. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so 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.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the VCR, be sure the antenna
or cable system 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, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
14. Lightning - For added protection for this VCR receiver 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 VCR due to lightning and power-line
surges.
15. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or 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.
16. Overlooking - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this VCR
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the VCR.
18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this VCR from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel under the following conditions:
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the VCR.
If the VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
If the VCR does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the VCR to its normal operation.
If the VCR has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
When the VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts,
specified by the manufacturer, that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
injury to persons or other hazards.
21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the VCR is in proper
operating condition.
22. Heat - This VCR product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Note to the cable TV system installer:
This reminder is to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section
820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected, to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this VCR to rain
or moisture.
