USING THE UNIT SAFELY
101b
• The unit and the AC adaptor should be
located so their location or position does not
interfere with their proper ventilation.
..................................................................................................
102c
• Always grasp only the plug on the AC
adaptor cord when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
..................................................................................................
103b
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the
AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth
to wipe all dust and other accumulations
away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain unused for
an extended period of time. Any accumu-
lation of dust between the power plug and
the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
..................................................................................................

• Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and
cables should be placed so they are out of
the reach of children.

objects on the unit.

• If used improperly, batteries may explode
or leak and cause damage or injury. In the
interest of safety, please read and observe
the following precautions (p.16).
1
• Carefully follow the installation instruc-
tions for batteries, and make sure you
observe the correct polarity.
2
• Avoid using new batteries together with
used ones. In addition, avoid mixing
different types of batteries.
3
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit
is to remain unused for an extended
period of time.
5
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of
cloth or paper towel to wipe all
remnants of the discharge from the
battery compartment. Then install new
batteries. To avoid inflammation of the
skin, make sure that none of the battery
discharge gets onto your hands or skin.
Exercise the utmost caution so that none
of the discharge gets near your eyes.
Immediately rinse the affected area with
running water if any of the discharge
has entered the eyes.
6
• Never keep batteries together with
metallic objects such as ballpoint pens,
necklaces, hairpins, etc.
..................................................................................................
112
• Used batteries must be disposed of in
compliance with whatever regulations for
their safe disposal that may be observed in
the region in which you live.
..................................................................................................
118c
• Should you remove ferrite cores, screws to
fasten battery plate holder or screws
removed from VC-50HD’s top panel, keep
them in a safe place out of children’s reach,
so there is no chance of them being swallowed
accidentally.
