Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna
system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light c
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD
BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to procide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in US/
and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respec
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire t<
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning
For added protection for this television 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
disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and
power-line surges.
