Precautions

◆Read this booklet carefully.

◆Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches that shown on the back of the video recorder.

◆Read this page and the chapter and the "Setting up the video" to help you set up and adjust your video recorder.

◆Do not put the video recorder in a hot or humid place (to avoid the risk of fire and electric shock).

◆Do not open the video recorder. Get a qualified technician to carry out any repairs.

◆Do not connect the video recorder to the power supply if you have just moved it from a cold environment to a warm room. This can lead to condensation inside the video which can seriously damage the video and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach room temperature.

◆Make sure the video is placed at least 10cm apart from other home appliances or obstacles to get sufficient ventilation.

◆This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on top of the video.

◆Put the video on a steady, flat surface.

◆Only clean the video with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh or alcohol-based cleaning agents.

service or repair yourself.

◆Do not open the case of the video recorder. Only allow a qualified engineer to repair or service your video.

◆This video recorder is designed to work continuously. Switching it off (onto stand-by) does not disconnect it from the mains. To disconnect it from the mains, you have to unplug it.
