Operate only from a power source indicated on the
unit or in this manual.
If necessary, have your Electric Utility Service
Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power
source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this Video product comes with
either a poladzed power cord plug (one blade is
wider than the other), or a three-wire grounding type
plug. 2
pOLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you
cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will
not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet.
Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the
plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper - I
outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampedng =
with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they are
not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over
them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also has
either a poladzed or grounded plug and that the
cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may
result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.
For protection follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in
use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or
rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater
or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed
vehicle, etc.. Do not move the unit suddenly between
areas of extreme temperature variation. If the unit is
suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place,
moisture may condense in the unit and on the tape.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

•An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick _2
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to
overtum.
• Carefully follow all operating 3
instructions and use the manufacturer's
recommended accessodes when operating this unit
or connecting it to any other equipment.

provides information with respect 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.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never coma into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside
