Antenna Installation Instructions
1. 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 an antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
2. 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 power-line surges. Do not disconnect the antenna or
the power cord during a heavy storm lighting may strike while you are holding the
cable cord, causing serious injury; turn off your LCD TV and wait for the weather
to improve.
3. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not 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.
