AND TO REDUCE ANNOYING INTERFERENCE,

USE THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES ONLY.

FCC NOTICE

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the

manual. If such changes or modifications are made, you could be required to stop operation of the

equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from a

digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital

Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Bureau of Industry and Science Canada.

The serial number of this product can be found on the back of the unit.

No other unit has the same serial number. You should record the number and other vital information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In these safety instructions the word “product” refers to the Canon Video Visualizer RE-350 and

all its accessories.

1. Read Instructions—All the safety and operating

instructions should be read before the product is

operated.

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,

2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the product

and cart combination to overturn.

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.

Wipe the product with a clean soft cloth. If

necessary, put the cloth in diluted neutral detergent

and wring it out well, before wiping the product.

Finally, clean the product with a clean dry cloth. Do

not use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids or

pesticides as they may damage the product’s finish.

When using chemically-treated cleaning cloths,

observe their precautions accordingly.

9. Power Sources—This 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 in your home, consult your product

dealer or local power company.

10.Grounding—This product is equipped with a 3-

pronged grounding plug (the plug has a third

grounding pin).

The 3-pronged grounding plug will fit into a

grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding-type plug.

6. Accessories—Do not use non Canon approved

accessories as they may be hazardous. Always use

the specified connection cables and be sure to

connect devices correctly.

11.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.

7. Water and Moisture—Hazard of electric shock—Do

not use this product near water or in rainy/moist

situations. Do not put a heater near this product.

12.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 dischage unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna dischage unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the gounding electrode. See

figure 1.

8. Placing or Moving—Do not place this product on an

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

18.Damage Requiring Service—Disconnect the product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions:

Ground clamps

Power service grounding

electrode system

(NEC art 250, part H)

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

NEC—National Electric Code

b. If any liquid has been spilled onto, or objects

have fallen into the product.

13.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. This will prevent damage to the

product due to lightning and power-line surges.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

d. If the product does not operate normally even if

you follow the operating instructions, adjust

only those controls that are covered by the

operation instructions. Improper adjustment of

other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal

operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet

has been damaged.

14.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.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance. This indicates a need for service.

19.Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts that are specified by Canon or

that have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,

electric shock or other hazards.

15.Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and

extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

20.Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product

is in safe operating order.

16.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.

17.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.
