ANTENNA INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
2. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
3. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or
fire hazards. This product has been engineered and
manufactured to assure your personal safety. In order not
to defeat the built-in safeguards, observe the following
basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
ATTENTION:
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on
your product and its operating instructions. For your
safety, please read all the safety and operating instructions
before you operate this product and keep this manual for
future reference.
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
Your product may be 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 should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product 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 product
dealer or local power company. If your product is
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
3. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
4. 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 product.
5. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked or covered.
• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
• Do not place the product 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.

OPEN & CLOSE (Basic Operation Procedure)
The Video Capture software can be started up in the same way as any other program running
under Windows. The procedure differs slightly depending on whether you’re using WindowsT
3.1 or WindowsT95.
Preparation
• Turn on your computer.
• Turn on the video source units (such as camcorders and VCRs).
• If you want to capture a still picture from a recorded tape, load the tape into the video unit.
• If you want to capture an image from the data stored in the JLIP Video Producer Software, be
sure to load the disk on which the image is stored.
With WindowsT95, click the [START] button on the taskbar, and the Program menu
appears on the screen. Move the mouse pointer over the program entry you want to run
and click to start the program.
Now let’s start the program.
If you’re using WindowsT3.1, open the JLIP Video Capture group in the “Program Manager”
and double-click the JLIP Video Capture icon.
If you’re using WindowsT95, select JLIP Video Capture from the “Start menu” and click to start.
With WindowsT3.1, open the group of application icons in the Program Manager and
double-click the application icon you want to launch.
