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 instru-
ment. 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 video products.
Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions—All the safety
and operating instructions should be read before
the video 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 video product and in the operating
instructions.
4. Polarization—This video 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 video 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 video dealer or local power company. For
video products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
6. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets or
extension cords 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 video product.
8. Ventilation—Slots and openings in the video
products are provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the video product and to
protect them from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This video product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This video product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
video product manufacturer’s instructions have
been followed.
9. Attachments—Do not use attachments unless
recommended by the video product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10. Water and Moisture—Do not use this video
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 video product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The video product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult as well as
serious damage to the video product. Use this
video product only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the video product.
Any mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
11A A video product and cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause
the video product and cart
combination to overturn.
