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!
Remember that this camera is intended for
private consumer use only.
Any commercial use without proper permission
is prohibited. (Even if you record an event such
