IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. But, safety is your responsibility too.

This page lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of DVD camcorder and accessory equipment. Please read it carefully before op- erating your video product and keep it in a handy place for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1Read and Follow Instructions

— All the safety and operating instruc- tions should be read before the video product is operated. Follow all operating and use instructions.

2Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be re- tained for future reference.

3Heed Warnings – Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating instructions.

4Polarized Plug – This video prod- uct is equipped with a polarized alternat- ing – current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to re- place your obsolete outlet. To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an extension cable, receptacle

or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an exten- sion, use a polarized cable.

5Power Sources – This video prod- uct 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 video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets and extension cables as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets and extension cables are dangerous, and so are frayed power cables, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodi-

cally examine the cord and have it re- placed by your ser- vice technician if ap- pearance indicates damage or deterio- rated insulation.

7Power – Cable Protection – Power-supply cables 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 cables at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appli- ance.
