Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with
overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating instructions for replace-
ment or directions to reset the protective device. If replacement of the plug is required,
be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug that has the same overload
protection as the original plug as specied by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, 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, ANS/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, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode (see gure).
Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning or power-line surges.
Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-
head 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.
Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this product through open-
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shout-out parts that could result in
a re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
