PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE PLUG CAN BE FULLY INSERTED WITHOUT EXPOS-
ING ANY PARTS OF THE BLADES. DO NOT OPEN THE CASE. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING ONLY TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: Many television programs and films are copyrighted. In certain circumstances, copyright law may apply
to private in-home video taping of copyrighted materials.
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this
equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manu-
al. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION: If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the sur-
face of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial
parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape. When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature change from cold
to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condition, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER
button on and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.
The serial number is found on the back of this unit. This number is unique to this unit and not available to others.
You should record requested information here and retain this guide as a permanent record of your purchase.

PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read Instructions--All the safety and operation instructions should be read before the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions--The safety and operation instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings--All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions--All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning--Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean-
ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning THE EXTERIOR CASE ONLY. Exception: Products meant for continuous use,
such as a cable converter, may be left plugged in.
6. Attachments--Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazardous
situations.
7. Water and Moisture--Do not use this product near water, or near moist or damp areas.
8. Accessories--Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Movement with Accessories--Moving this product while positioned on a cart should be done carefully. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation--Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac-
turer's instructions have been followed.
11. Power Source--This product should be operated 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 com-
pany. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other source, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization--This 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.
13. 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. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs and the point where they
exit the product.
14. Accessory inputs-- Only use dry contact type switches as triggering devices / inputs to the security terminal.
Introducing voltage to the event or panic record inputs may cause damage to the recorder as well as the device
being connected. EOT (end of tape) devices must observe polarity and limit DC votage to 15 volts. Current con-
sumption of an EOT device must be limited to 100 ma or less. All connections to the rear screw terminal must be
free of an AC component signal and RF noise. Shielded cable should be used for trigger input cable runs over 25 ft.
in length.

PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)
15. 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 regarding 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.
16. Lightning--For added protection for the 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.
17. 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 anten-
na system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
18. Overloading--Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry--Never push objects of any kind through openings into this product as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. Servicing--Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
