consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instruction.
12. 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

technician has used a replacement plug
specified by the manufacturer that has the
same overload protection as the original plug.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an
outside antenna is connected to the receiver,
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,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, 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.

lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines - An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or

outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
