IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In these safety instructions the word “product” refers to 
the Canon Digital Video Camcorder XL H1A and all its 
accessories.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and operating 
instructions should be read before the product is 
operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating 
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 maintenance 
instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet 
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. 
The product should be cleaned only as recommended 
in this manual.
6. Accessories — Do not use accessories not 
recommended in this manual as they may be 
hazardous.
7. Avoid magnetic or electric fields — Do not use the 
camera close to TV transmitters, portable 
communication devices or other sources of electric or 
magnetic radiation. They may cause picture 
interference, or permanently damage the camera.
8. Water and Moisture — Hazard of electric shock — Do 
not use this product near water or in rainy/moist 
situations.
9. Placing or Moving — Do not place 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.
A product and cart combination should 
be moved with care. Quick stops, 
excessive force, and uneven surfaces 
may cause the product and cart 
combination to overturn.
10. Power Sources — The CA-920 
Compact Power Adapter 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 
company. Regarding other power sources such as 
battery power, refer to instructions in this manual.
11. Polarization — The CA-920 Compact Power Adapter 
is equipped with a polarized 2-prong plug (a plug 
having one blade wider than the other).
The 2-prong polarized 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 still fails to fit, contact 
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not 
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power Cord Protection — Power 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 plugs and the point from which 
the cords exit the product.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna 
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna is 
grounded so as 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 to an antenna discharge 
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna 
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, 
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See 
figure 1.
14. Lightning — For added protection of this product 
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended 
and unused for long periods of time, disconnect it from 
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will 
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and 
power-line surges.
15. 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 antenna system, extreme care should be 
taken to keep from touching such power lines or 
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and 
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or 
electric shock.
17. Objects and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any 
kind into this product through openings as they may 
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that 
could result in a fire or electric shock. Be careful not to 
spill liquid of any kind onto the product.
18. 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.
