11. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Power-cord Protection: Power-supply cords should be routed
so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords and plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

ning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods
of time, the unit should be disconnected from power source.
14. Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power
circuits, 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.
15. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric

to determine that the product is in proper operating conditions.
21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: Before attempting to install this prod-
uct, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum,
No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze wire or larger, as
ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off
insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where
other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984 for information.
e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm) copper or
equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used.
