Model 160 Moviecorder  (160-0861) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 15136

The Model 160 Moviecorder Camcorder is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the
camcorder so you can enjoy it for years.

    Do not expose the camcorder to high temperatures.  Excessive heat can
    damage the camcorder.  Do not place the camcorder near a heat source
    (heaters, etc.).  Do not leave the camcorder in a closed car on hot
    days.

    If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange noise or odor, etc.),
    immediately turn off the camcorder.  Contact the local Radio Shack
    store for assistance.

    Do not let moisture (rain, steam, dew, water, etc.) enter the
    camcorder.  Do not allow any foreign objects (sand, metal objects,
    flammable articles, etc.) to enter the camcorder.

    Do not put anything except 8 mm video tape cassettes inside the
    cassette compartment.

    Do not aim the camcorder directly at bright light sources.

    Do not aim the camcorder near sources of heat or bright light.

    Do not use this camcorder under the following conditions:  high
    humidity, high vibration, excessive dust or dirt, near strong magnetic
    fields (near transmitting antennas, motors, fluorescent lights, etc.).

    Do not use the camcorder as a security camera.  It is designed to
    automatically shut off when left in the record pause mode for about 5
    minutes.  This protects the tape from damage and prevents the camcorder
    from overheating.

    Do not wrap the camcorder in any material during operation.  The
    temperature inside the camcorder could cause malfunctions or permanent
    damage.

    Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Always remove
    old or weak batteries.
