23) Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so

as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA70 provides information with

regard to proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-dis-charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirments for the grounding electrode.

24) Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicin-

ity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir-

cuits, 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.

25) Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

18) Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation

and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect

it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked

or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing

This product should not be placed in a built-in installation

such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provid-

ed or the manufacturer s instructions have been adheredto.

19) Power Sources

This product should be operated only from the type of power

source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of

the type of power supply to your home, consult your product

dealer or local power company. For products intended to oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

20) Power-Cord Polarization

This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only

fit into the grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety fea-

ture. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

21) 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 the point where they exit from

the product.

22) Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-

nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage

to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
