IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

These pages list important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of a camcorder, adapter/charger, and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before operating your products.

Installation

1.Read and Follow Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.

2.Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

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

4.Polarization—This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-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 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. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an extension cord, use one with a polarized plug.

5.Power Sources—This product 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 dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6.Overloading—Do not

overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets,

extension cords, frayed

power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

7.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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

8.Ventilation—Slots and openings in the products are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect them from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the product manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.

9.Attachments—Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

10.Water and Moisture—Do not use this product near water—for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool and the like.

11.Accessories—Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Use this product only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

11A A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
