SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 35

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation
of the video unit and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never
place your VCR on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface, on or near a radiator or heat register. This
video unit 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 SOURCES - This video unit 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
supply to your home consult your appliance dealer or
local power company. For video units intended to be
operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This video unit
may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a
3-wire grounding plug having a third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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 still fails 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 that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords of plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the unit.
