Wai, ranty Registration

No other RCA Video Cassette Recorder has the same serial number as yours. It is important that you record the number and other vital information here, in case your VCR is stolen or in case you need a complete description for any other reason. You will find the model and serial numbers on the back of the VCR. You will also find both numbers recorded on your registration form.

Serial Number

VCR registration is very important so that you can be contacted should there be a safety inspection, modification, or product recall under applicable laws or regulations or otherwise. The dealer who sold you the VCR should have registered it and given you a copy of the registration form.

If your dealer did not give you a copy of the registration, contact him promptly and ask for it. You must be able to show your registration or evidence of purchase date to any RCA Authorized VCR Servicenter or the RCA Service Company to receive warranty parts and service. We suggest you attach

your sales slip and warranty registration to this booklet and keep them in a safe place for future reference.

Safety Precautions

Your VCR operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits in the wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of this plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

Caution: To prevent electric shock do not use the polarized plug on this Video Cassette Recorder with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Mise en garde: Pour pr_venir les chocs 61ectriques, ne pas utiliser la fiche polaris_e de cet appareil avec une rallonge, une prise de courant ou une autre sortie, h moins que les lames puissent _tre ins_r6es h fond sans qu'aucune partie soit laiss6e h db.couvert.

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back. No user-serviceable

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code

(Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part I), that 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.

Caution: The unauthorized recording of television programs and other materials may infringe the rights of others.
