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, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna‐discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See Figure 1.
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 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 fire or electric shock.

out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
