19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry- Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus
should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may result
in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on the
unit.
• Do not mix batteries {old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
23. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
24. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
25. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other

Note to the CATV system installer:This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
