Model 31 AC/DC VCP
(160-0423) Safety Instructions Faxback Doc. # 38539
Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of
your video cassette player (VCP), and safety is a major factor in its
design. However, safety is also your responsibility.
This section lists important information that will help you properly use
and enjoy your VCP and accessories. Read all the included safety and
operating instructions before using your VCP. Follow them closely, and
retain them for future reference.
Heed Warnings - Follow all warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions.
Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use
only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
Attachments - Do not use attachments/accessories not recommended by the
product manufacturer, as they might create a hazard.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near water (for example, near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in
a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).
Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting, and use
a recommended mounting accessory.
Carts - Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
product/cart to overturn.
Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure
reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not
block or cover these openings, and do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place
the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the
manufacturer.
Power Sources - Operate this product using only the power source indicated
on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's
power type, consult your product dealer or local power
company.
Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the product.
Lightning - For added protection for this product 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 product due
to lightning and power-line surges.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids - Never push objects of any kind into this product
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 product.
Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Replacement Parts - When the replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by
manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check - Upon completion of service or repairs to this product, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
Wall or Ceiling Mount - The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Power Lines - Locate an outdoor antenna away from power lines.
Nonuse Periods - Unplug the product's power cord when you will not use it
for extended periods.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, ground the antenna
or cable system so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about
proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
