The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

This video cassette recorder should be used with AC 120Vd, 60Hz only.

To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, DO NOT use any other power source.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC 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.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, Remote or video cassette.

1.DO NOT place the VCR . . .

...in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

...in direct sunlight.

...in a dusty environment.

...in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

...on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2.DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings.

3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or on the Remote.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on the top of the VCR or on the Remote.

5.AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.
