Disconnect the Ac Adapter from the power source before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Video Doorphone. Such  
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock.  
use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become hazard-  
ous when used on another product.  
Product service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Ser-  
vice or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of

11.  
Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles when assembling the Video  
Doorphone. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.  
Avoid accidental electrical shock. Before attaching the Indoor and Outdoor  
Units to the walls, check hidden areas within the walls to avoid cutting into live  
electrical wires, gas and water pipes.

For better product performance do not install the Indoor unit near a televi-  
sion, and do not install the Outdoor unit in direct sunlight.  
Make sure adults and children in the household completely understand  
how to properly use the Video Doorphone.  
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electro-  
magnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker  
interference or pacemaker failure.

gROuNDINg  
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in  
electric shock.  
WARNINg  
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to  
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the  
power cord plug provided with the tool. Do not use the tool  
if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it  
repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not  
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified  
electrician.  
Double Insulated tools: tools with two Prong Plugs  
1.  
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not  
require grounding. They have a special  
double insulation system which satisfies  
OSHA requirements and complies with the  
applicable standards of Underwriters Labo-  
ratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Asso-  
ciation, and the National Electrical Code.  
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)  
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug  
2.  
Double insulated tools may be used in either  
of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.  
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)  
Extension cords  
1.  
2.  
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can  
use either a two or three wire extension cord.  
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge  
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a  
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.  
(See table A.)  
3.  
4.  
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.  
For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.  
(See table A.)  
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make  
sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See table A.)  
SKU 94531  
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353  
PAGE 4  
 
5.  
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate  
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.  
(See table A.)  
6.  
7.  
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suf-  
fix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.  
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.  
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified elec-  
trician before using it.  
8.  
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet  
areas.
