instructions in the literature

accompanying this unit.

15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such

as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

16. VENTILATION:

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation to ensure reliable operation

of the CAMCORDER and to protect it from

overheating. These openings must not

be blocked or covered. Never place your

CAMCORDER on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface: on or near a radiator or heat

placed in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is

provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have

or local power company. A CAMCORDER is

intended to be operated from battery power, or

other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

18. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:

This CAMCORDER may be equipped with

either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug

having one blade wider than the other) or a

3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still fails to ﬁt, contact your electrician

to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

19. POWER-CORD PROTECTION:

particular attention to cords or plugs, convenient

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the unit.

20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:

CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static

charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides

information with respect to proper grounding of

the mast and supporting structure, grounding

of the lead-in wire and supporting structure,

grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding to conductors,

location of antenna-discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes and requirements for

the grounding electrode. See ﬁgure below.

21. LIGHTNING:

For added protection of this CAMCORDER

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 CAMCORDER due to lightning

and powerline surges.

22. POWER LINES:

An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines

or other electric light or power circuits where it

can fall into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme

care should be taken to keep from touching

such power lines or circuits as contact with

them might be fatal.
