18. Grounding or Polarization
This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug. Alternative Warnings -This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug,
a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. 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.
19. 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, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See fig. A on page 7 .
20. Lightning
For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and powerline surges.
21. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should 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.
22. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
