Notices and Safety Instructions
ENGLISH
9. VENTILATION:
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
CAMCORDER and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Never place your CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat
register.
This CAMCORDER 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:
The CAMCORDER should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply at your
home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
A CAMCORDER is intended to be operated from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This CAMCORDER 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 type plug,
a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
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 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 or
plugs, convenient receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the unit.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire and supporting structure, grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding to
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
