Precautions
Read carefully through this manual to familiarize yourself with this
high-quality video recorder.
Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches

room temperature.

working incorrectly, is making an unusual sound, has a strange
smell, has smoke emitting from it or liquids have got inside it. Have
a qualified technician check the recorder.
... you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using
the recorder for a long period or during a thunderstorm.
