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. 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 instruc-
tions 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.
