Video Cassette Tapes

VIEWCAM.

To protect recordings against erasure When a previously recorded cassette is used again for recording, the previously recorded material is erased. To protect a recording against accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to cover the opening. (A red mark will be exposed.) To record, slide the tab to open the opening.

Using Your VIEWCAM Abroad

Television signal standards and electrical voltages and frequencies vary substantially from country to country. When you are abroad, check the sections below before using the AC adapter or connecting the VIEWCAM to a TV.

AC Adapter (Supplied Accessory)

The supplied AC adapter is compatible with 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical systems in the range of 110 V to 240 V AC.

Notes:

•Do not insert anything into the erasure-protection opening in the cassette.

•Do not put anything into the holes on the bottom of the cassette.

•Do not store or place your video tapes in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in places with excessive moisture or dust.

•Do not keep video tapes near magnetic objects as they may erase the recording.

•Do not drop or subject the tapes to excessive shocks.

•Uneven tape winding will damage the tape. If the tape is not properly wound, reinsert it in the VIEWCAM and rewind the tape.

•Store the cassettes in their cases and stand them upright.
