Safety Precautions
.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on
a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on
all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on
both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper,
or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental
problems must be considered and the local rules
or laws governing the disposal of these batteries
must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or
places with water.
Also do not place any containers filled with water
or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower
vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this
equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
Do not point the lens or the viewfinder directly into
the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as
lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry.
There is also a risk of fire or electric shock.
CAUTION!
The following notes concern possible physical
damage to this unit and to the user.
Carrying or holding this unit by the LCD monitor
and/or the viewfinder can result in dropping the
unit, or in a malfunction.
Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel
surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage
to the unit.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, etc.)
to this unit and leaving it on top of the TV is not
recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause
this unit to fall, resulting in damage.
CAUTION:
To avoid electric shock
or damage to the unit,
first firmly insert the small
end of the power cord
into the AC Adapter
until it is no longer wobbly,
and then plug the larger
end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
IMPORTANT (for owners in the U.K.)
Connection to the mains supply in the United
Kingdom.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
in your home or the cable is too short to reach
a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an
identical approved type, as originally fitted,
and to replace the fuse cover.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure
to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains
plug then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger
Terminal coded E or Green.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

or Red
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal
identifications of your plug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured
black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE
USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured
to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the
mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between
pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw
the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure that your family knows how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm
or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos
or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating
will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit
the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the
fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
•NEVER let anyone especially children push
anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
•
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment
of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
