IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 

 

6

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your 
video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument.  But, safety is your 
responsibility too. 
This page lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of 
a Video Camcorder and accessory equipment.  Please read it carefully before operating your 
video product and keep it in a handy place for future reference. 

 -- All the safety and operating instructions should be read 

before the video product is operated.  Follow all operating and use instructions. 

 

 -- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future 

reference. 
3  Heed Warnings

 -- Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating 

instructions. 
4  Polarized Plug

 -- This video product is 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.  To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an extension 
cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure.  
If you need an extension, use a polarized cord. 

 

 -- This video 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 video dealer or local power company.  For video products intended to 
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 
6  Overloading

 -- Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk 

of fire or electric shock.  Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so 
are frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs.  They may 
result in shock or fire hazard.  Periodically examine the cord and have it replaced by your 
service technician if appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation. 

 

 -- 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, paying particular attention to
