reference.

Carefully observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions on the appliance, or the ones described in the operating instructions and

adhere to them.

USE

Power Sources–This set should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on

the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

electrical power supply at your home, consult your

dealer or local power company. For those sets

designed to operate from AC 90-250V~, 50/60Hz.

Grounding or Polarization–This set is equipped

with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other), or with a

threewire grounding type plug (a plug having a

third pin for grounding).

Follow the instructions below.

Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords or convenience receptacle beyond

their capacity, since this can result in fire or

electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry–Never push objects of

any kind into the set through openings as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or shart out parts

that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Attachments–Do not use attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer, as they may

cause hazards.

Cleaning–Unplug the set from the wall outlet

before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid

cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly

dampended with water for cleaning the exterior of

the set.

AC 90-250V~?

UNPLUG

Water and Moisture–Do not use powerline

operated sets near water-for example, near a

bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in

a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories–Donotplacethesetonan

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.

The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child

or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use

only a cart stand, tripod, bracket, or table

recommended by the manufacturer.

Ventilation–The slots and openings in the

cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to

protect it from overheating, these slots and

openings must never be blocked or covered.

– Never cover the slots and openings with a

cloth or other materials.

– Never block the slots and openings by placing

the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar

surface.

Portable Cart Warning–An appliance and cart

combination should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may

cause the appliance and cart combination to

overturn.

–Never place the set in a confined space such as

a bookcase, or built-in cabinet unless proper

ventilation is provided.

Power-Cord Protection–Route the power cord

in order not to be walked on or pinched by items

placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point

where the cord exits from the appliance.

–Do not place the set over a radiator or heat

sunlight.

In the normal temperature, if you pour a cold

liquid into a glass, water vapour in the air will

condense on the surface of the glass. This is

moisture condensation. The moisture

condensation may occur inside of VCPs, if used

in this condition, it will cause damage to the

head and the tape.

In case of moving the VCP from a cold place to

heated place,

Or the temperature of surroundings goes up due

to room heating switched on.

Or moving the VCP suddenly from air conditioned

room to a place of high temperature of humidity

in summer.

When the moisture condensation occurs inside

of the VCP, NEVER insert the cassette into the

cassette compartment. Remove the cassette, if

loaded, by pressing the STOP/EJECT key. Only

operate the VCP after the moisture condensation

has completely dried out. Normally, it takes

about 2 hours.
