ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
LOCATION - The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING The appliance
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.
VENTILATION = The appliance should be situated so
that its location of position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or,
placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase
or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
HEAT The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances {including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
POWER SOURCES The appliance should be con-
nected to a power supply only of the type de-
scribed in the operating instructions or as marked
on the appliance
POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
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
folowing 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
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
CLEANING The appliance should be cleaned only
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.

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides informa-
tion 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
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig, A.
