ENGLISH
INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordancewiththeinstructions,maycauseharmfulinterferencetoradiocommunications. However,thereisnoguarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, try to correct the interference by one
or more of these measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit than the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

Safety Precautions
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS
The supplier will make available on request such circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions or other
information which will assist the USER’s appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair those parts of the EQUIPMENT which
are classified by the manufacturer as repairable.
NOTICE FOR MEDICAL USE
• Accessories connected to signal input and/or output parts must be certified according to the appropriate IEC 601-1 and/or
IEC 601-1-1 harmonized national standard.
Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to
the signal input part, or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of the standard IEC 601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative.
• Caution for use in patient environment
Patient Environment
Leakage current of this unit may be exceeded the allowable value when conductively connected to other equipment. To avoid
increment of the leakage current, separation device shall be applied.
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED (GROUNDED)
To ensure safe operation the three-prong plug must be inserted only into a standard three-prong power point which is effectively
earthed through the normal house-hold wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired
extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is
completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualifed electrician.
DO NOT REMOVE PANEL COVER BY UNSCREWING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. And do not insert fingers or any other
objects into the video cassette holder.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD AND ANNOYING INTERFERENCE, USE THE RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES ONLY.
Caution:
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built in cabinet or in another confined space in order to keep well ventilated condition.
Ensure that curtains and any other materials do not obstruct the ventilation condition to prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard
due to overheating.
The transportation and storage environmental conditions are:
Temperature : -20°C - +60°C (-4°F - +140°F)
Humidity : Max. 90%RH
Atmospheric pressure : 500 hPa - 1060 hPa
Note
The above transportation environmental conditions indicate the storage environmental conditions during transport.
Remove the battery if equipment is not likely to be used for some time. Consult your dealer to remove it.
INFORMATION
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
INFORMATION
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Caution and Care
WARNING:
The included power cord is used for 220 - 230 V, 50 Hz.
Do not connect any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency.
CONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERS
What is condensation?
1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of
condensation.
2. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming a cold room or after transporting it from a cold location
to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of the VCR, it can
dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR in and switch the
VCR POWER to ON. Leave the VCR on for at least 2 hours before using it for recording or playback.
Condensation is likely to occur when:
1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors or from a cold room to a warm one.
2. A cold room is heated quickly.
3. Humidity is high.
Note
• Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.
Do not place anything containing water on top of the VCR; (e.g., vases, cups, etc.).
Heavy object (e.g., TV) should never be placed on the VCR
DO NOT TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCR
Touching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also cause
extensive damage.
PROTECT THE POWER CORD
Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugged, hold by the plug only and pull out carefully.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord during a long absence.
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure it
is not covered during use.
WHEN NOT IN USE
When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn OFF the VCR POWER.
CABINET CARE
Do not use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leads
should not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
For excellent performance and lasting reliability, install in a location that is:
1. Well ventilated, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat.
2. A solid, vibration-free surface.
3. Free from high humidity, excessive dust and away from magnetic fields.
Note
Do not move the VCR without first removing the tape.
CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
• Avoid vibration or shock.
• Do not place near a strong magnetic field (e.g., a motor, transformer or magnet).
• Do not place or store in direct sunlight.
• Avoid dusty places.
• Place the cassette in its case and store vertically.
• Do not store tape in high humidity.
WHEN DISPOSING OF THE VCR
When you dispose of the VCR, you must obey the law in the relative area or country and the regulation of the medical facility. When
disposing, remove the battery which is installed in the VCR for backup.
