1. IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTES
BEFORE RETURNING THE VIDEO CAMERA
RECORDER
Before returning the video camera recorder to the user,
perform the following safety checks.
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are
not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between
the chassis and other metal parts in the video camera
recorder.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isola-
tion resistor/capacitor networks, mechanical insula-
tors etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
leakage current in the following manner.
l Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet
(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).
. Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, IO watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15pF capacitor in series with
all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known ground,
such as a water pipe or conduit.
l Use aVTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm pervolt, or higher
sensitivity or measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor (See Diagram).
l Move the resistor connection to all exposed metal
parts having a return path to the chassis (antenna
connections, metal cabinet, screw heads, knobs and
control shafts, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor. Reverse the AC plug (a non
polarized adaptor plug must be used but only for the
purpose of completing these checks) on the set and
repeat the AC voltage measurements for each ex-
posed metallic part. Any reading of 0.45V rms (this
corresponds to 0.3mA rms AC.) or more is excessive
and indicates a potential shock hazard which must be
corrected before returning the video camera recorder
to the user. /

The RBRCTM Seal
SHARP participates in the RBRC TM* Nickel-Cadmium Battery Recycling Program in the United
States. The RBRCTM Seal on our battery pack contained in our product indicates that SHARP is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries. The RBRCTM
program provides you with a convenient alternative to placing spent Nickel-Cadmium battery packs into
the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas. At the end of their useful life, the
Nickel-Cadmium battery can be dropped off at the nearest collection center for recycling. For information
on the nearest collection center, call I-800-8-BATTERY or your local recycling center. If you are located
outside the United States, contact your local authorities for information concerning proper disposal and/
or recycling of this battery. SHARP’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to protecting
our environment and conserving natural resources.
