SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

• As a measure of additional

protection of this television

equipment, unplug this apparatus

during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

This will prevent the equipment

from being damaged by lightning and power-line

surges.

• Outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric or

power circuits including the place where it can fall onto

such power lines or circuits. Installing outside antenna

system requires a full care to keep such power lines or

circuits out of reach as it may be fatal to touch them.

• If an outside antenna is connected to television

equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so

as to provide some protection against voltage surges

and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides

information concerning proper grounding of the mast

and supporting structure as well as of the lead-in wire to

an antenna discharge unit, the size of grounding

conductors, the location of antenna-discharge unit, the

connection to grounding electrodes and the requirements

for grounding electrode.
