at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
POLARIZATION — If your purchased product is pro-
vided with a polarized power plug, please read the
following instructions. This product is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. if you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to reptace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never
clean with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or
other volatile liquids since they may corrode the
cabinet.
IMPORTANT 1
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user of the
presence of uninsulated ''dangerous voltage" within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Note to CATV system installer
POWER LINES — An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
NONUSE PERIODS — The power cord of the ap-

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna is connected to the antenna
terminal, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static
In the U.S.A. section 810 of the National Elec-
trical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten-
na discharge unit, size of grounding conduc-
tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode. See
Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm?)
copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4
mm?) aluminum, No. 17
AWG {1.0 mm?) copper-
clad steel, bronze wire, or
larger as ground wire.
Secure antenna lead-in and
ground wires to house with
stand-off insulators spaced
from 4 feet (1.22 meters) to
6 feet (1.83 meters) apart.
Mount antenna discharge
unit as closely as possible to
where lead-in enters house.
Use jumper wire not smaller
than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm?)
copper or equivalent when
separate antenna-ground-
ing electrode is used.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK}. NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilatera! triang}e is
intended to alert the user of the presence of important

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 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.
