Antenna Safety Instructions - RCA RLC4283A User Manual

Warnings and Precautions
LISTENING WITH EARPHONES
▪ Listen at moderate Volumes to avoid hearing damage.
▪ If you hear no sound during playback, do not turn the Volume up as the music may suddenly
begin at a high Volume. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
▪ To avoid damaging your ears, adjust the Volume to the lowest level before playback, and turn
up to the desired level when playback has started.
If an outdoor antenna is connected, follow the precautions below:
▪ An outdoor antenna should not be located in any area where it could come in contact with
overhead power lines, or any other electric light or power circuits.
▪ When installing an outdoor antenna system, extreme caution should be taken to prevent
contact with power lines. Direct contact with power lines may be fatal and should be avoided
at all costs.

mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
