Electric Power
Power sources –
Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
Polarization -
As a safetv feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power p(ugs which can only be inserted one
way into a power outlet. If it is difficult orimpossibleto insert the
AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. i
If it still does not easily inserf into the outlet, please call a
qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To :
avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not
force it into a power outlet.
AC
power cord
-
When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC
power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, asthiscould
result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent,
pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
Extension cored –
To help prevent electric shock, do not use
a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle,
or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely
inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
When not in use –
Urmlua the AC power cord from the AC
,0
outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more.
When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Power lines -
When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna grounding –
Be sure the antenna system is
properly grounded-to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, AN S1/NFPA 70, provides information
on proper graunding of the mast, supporting structure, and the
lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size
of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and
requirements for grounding terminals.
