FS-C Portable DTE Recorder

Non-Use Period

During extended periods when the device is not used,

unplug it from the power source and retract the power-cord.

Grounding or Polarization

Polarized

If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

other), it will fit into the 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.

Grounded

If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it 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.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the FS-C,

verify that the antenna or cable system is grounded. This

provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges.
Refer to Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA

70, for information about the proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.
