Grounding
- CAUTION: For Continued Protection Against Risk of
Electric Shock and Fire, This Accessory Should Be Installed Only In
Products Equipped With A Three-wire Grounding Plug, A Plug Having a
third (Grounding) Pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power

Outdoor Antenna Grounding
- Since an outdoor antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure that 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 the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
•
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.
•
Power Lines
- An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other 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 may be fatal.
•
Note to CATV System Installer
- This reminder is provided to call the
CATV systems installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC, which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
