15. Lightning-For added protection for this product during a lightning storm
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. 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.
17. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. 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.
19 Servicing-Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
