COBY TF-DVD5605 - Manual (Page 4)


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 support-
ing 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 require-
ments 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 damage 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 convenience recep-
tacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shout-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
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.
Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) when the power-supply or plug
is damaged; b) if liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen into the product; c) if the
product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does not operate normally by fol-
lowing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as 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 damaged in any way; f) when the product exhibits a
distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure that your service techni-
cian has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same charac-
teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service tech-
