Television Antenna Connection Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the DLP TV, make sure that the antenna or
cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static
charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper
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 Protection
For added protection of the DLP TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for
long periods of time, unplug the DLP TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power
lines or circuits.
