ZNA Important Safeguards and Precautions
1
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND
ON THE UNIT
INSTALLATION
POWER SOURCE CAUTION
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 polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the
other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot
fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still wil! 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 wiii only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet. !f
necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do
not defeat the safety feature by tampering 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 polarized 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, stc..
Do not move the unit suddenly between areas of
extreme temperature variation. If the unit is suddenty
moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense in the unit and on the tape.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
* Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping
surface.
* Support for the unit should be firm,
level, and adequately strong.
* An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination
to overturn,
* Carefully follow all operating instructions and use
the manufacturers recommended accessories
when operating this unit or connecting it to any
other equipment.
OUTDOOR_ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection
against built up static charges
and voltage surges. Section
810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada,
past 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) 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.
2 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 come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.
USING THE VIDEO UNIT
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first
to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1 KEEP THIS VIDEO UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR
MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a qualified
service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or before leaving the
unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the
power source as well as the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
* Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE if liquid has
been spilled into the unit. Immediately unptug the unit, and have it
inspected by a service technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from
electrical shorts caused by liquid contact inside.
* Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit. Some internal
parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can cause electric shock or fire
hazard.
* Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set as this may
cause electrical interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic
equipment,
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire,
shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING THE UNIT
Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently
remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air
that could over-spray, or seep into the unit and cause electrical shock.
Any substance such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface.
Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.

or those having the same safety characteristics as the original parts. The use of
unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
3 HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM

Build-in Head Cleaner
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your VCR with a built-in, non
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent
clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is performed
each time you load or unload a video cassette.
Note: This feature is preventative only. if your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of
a chemical nonabrasive head cleaning kit or take
your VCR to a Service Center.
Head Cleaning
Your VCR will not normally require head cleaning,
however the heads may become clogged when playing
an old or damaged tape.
