Printelligence (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.2VC-H818U (01-10)Dimensions: 257 ן 182 mmThis video cassette recorder (VCR) uses “ONLY” cassettetapes, NTSC video signals (standard in US), and 120 V AC, 60 Hz(standard US household current).For future reference, record the model and serial number (locatedon the rear of the VCR) in the space provided.Model No.:—————————Serial No.:—————————WARNING:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOTEXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPENCAUTIONThis symbol warns the user ofuninsulated voltage within theunit that can cause dangerouselectric shocks.“WARNING—FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes ormodifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturercould void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.”Note to CATV system installer:This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NationalElectrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable groundshall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OFELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOTREMOVE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.REFER SERVICING TOQUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNEL.This symbol alerts the user thatthere are important operatingand maintenance instructions inthe literature accompanying thisunit.As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR is a U.S. registered mark.WHAT IS ENERGY STAR®TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1 billiona year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR® models willreduce that energy "leakage" by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $500 million a year inenergy savings for consumers.The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution thatcontributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR®models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year -- equivalent to eliminating thepollution from more than one million cars.By using ENERGY STAR® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. Thatmakes good economic sense and its good for our environment.WARNING OF DEW FORMATIONWhenever your VCR is moved from a cold to a warm environment, it is important that you plug the unit in, turnthe power on and allow it to sit for about 2 hours before attempting to play a tape. This period will allow any dewformation to evaporate. Failure to do so may result in tape and/or video head damage.After the 2 hour evaporation period, you may witness a “snowy” picture for the first few minutes of VCRoperation. This picture noise will disappear shortly thereafter.WARNING—Keep your VCR away from electrical and magnetic appliances which could impair performance.Be sure to position your VCR away from your TV or video monitor by at least 8؆.

Bhd.VC-H818U (01-10)IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONSCAUTIONREAD THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS before operating your VCR.FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND HEED ALL WARNINGS on your VCR and in this manual.INSTALLATION1. Operate only from a power source indicated on your VCR or in this manual. If you areunsure of your power supply, ask your local power company.2. As a safety feature, your VCR is equipped with either a 2-wire polarized plug (oneplug blade bigger than the other) or a 3-wire grounded plug (a third pin forgrounding). The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. The3-wire grounded plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet.If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do notmodify the plug. To do so will void the safety feature.3. Protect and route power cords so they will not be stepped on or pinched by anythingplaced on or against them. Be especially careful at plug-ins, conveniencereceptacles, or cord exit points from the VCR. Frayed power cords or damaged plugsare hazardous. Have them replaced by a qualified service technician.Overloaded wall outlets and extension cords may cause fire or electrical shockhazards.4. Do not cover or block ventilation holes in the VCR cabinet. Doing so may damage theVCR or cassette, or cause fire.Do not place your VCR on a soft surface which could block ventilation holes on thebottom. Avoid enclosed installations such as bookshelves or racks unless ventilationis adequate.5. Avoid excessive humidity, sudden temperature changes, or temperature extremes.Dew may form inside your VCR or on the cassette.6. To avoid costly damage or injury, place your VCR flat on a solid, stable surface freefrom vibrations; do not place any heavy objects on top of it. Use only a cart, stand,tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer; follow all instructionsregarding their use exactly.7. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combinationto overturn.OPERATION/CLEANING1.

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system isgrounded, thus providing some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 ofthe National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information regarding proper grounding of themast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of groundingconductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for thegrounding electrode. See diagram below.EXAMPLE OF ANTENNAGROUNDING AS PER NATIONALELECTRICAL CODENEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODEANTENNA LEAD-IN WIREELECTRICSERVICEEQUIPMENTANTENNADISCHARGEUNIT(NEC SECTION810–20)GROUNDINGCONDUCTORS(NEC SECTION810–21)GROUND CLAMPSPOWER SERVICE GROUNDINGELECTRODE SYSTEM(NEC ART 250, PART H)GROUND CLAMP2. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric lightor power circuits, or where it can come into contact with power lines or circuits. When installing an outsideantenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from coming into contact with power lines or circuits;contact with them might be fatal.
