10. Grounding or Polarization: This video product is equipped with
either a three prong plug for 110 VAC use or a two prong flat blade
220 volt type plug. Each type is to be inserted into only the type of
receptacle for which they specifically designed. Do not cut off the
round grounding pin in order to be able to fit into a two prong
receptacle as this could cause injury and will void the warranty.

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching power lines or electrical 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.

21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: Before attempting to install this
product, 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 (alu-
minum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze wire or larg-
er, 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.
