Important Safety Instructions
Outdoor Antenna Grounding -If an outside antenna is
connected to the television equipment, be sure the
antenna 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.

Lightning-For added protection for th is television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattend
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent
damage to the equipment 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.
To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
