Note to Satellite TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite
TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (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.
Safety Tips
• Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer
will void the Limited Warranty.
• Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.
• Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices.
• Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
• Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
• Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical
shock.
• Make sure that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in accordance
with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
• Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits.When installing the antenna, take extreme care to
avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
• Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servic-
ing to authorized service personnel.
• Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added
protection during a lightning storm, or when the receiver is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the
lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. This
will provide some protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
