1Power sources —Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
2Polarization —As asafety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into apower outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and
try again. If it still does not easily inserf into the outlet, please
call aqualified service technician to service or replace the
outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into apower outlet.
3AC 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, as this
could result in fire or shock.
-Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely
bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
the cord from the unit to the power outlet.
-Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock,
IENGL/SH

Extension cord —To help prevent electric shock, do not use
apolarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle,
or c,ther outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely
inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
When not in use —Unplug the AC power cord from the power
outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more.

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, ANS1/NFPA 70, provides information
on prc)per grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
