IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/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.
14 Lightning
For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power line surges.
15 Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines 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 may be
fatal.
16 Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
