Important Safety Instructions 13. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point which they exit from the product. 14. Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug as specified by the manufacturer. 15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode (see figure). 16. Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning or power-line surges. 17. 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. 18. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. www.cobyusa.com Page

Power-Cord Protection:
Power supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at
the point which they exit from the product.
Protective Attachment Plug:
The product may be equipped with an attach-
ment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating
instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective device. If
replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug as
specified by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding:
If an outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode (see figure).
Lightning:
For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent dam-
age to the product due to lightning or power-line surges.
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.
Overloading:
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral conve-
nience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
