read before the product is operated.
•Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
•Heed Warnings - All warnings on the product and the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
•Compatibility - This option card is for use only with IBM AT or
compatible UL Listed personal computers that have Installation
Instructions detailing user installation of card cage accessories.
•Grounding - CAUTION: For Continued Protection Against Risk of
Electric Shock and Fire, This Accessory Should Be Installed Only In
Products Equipped With A Three-wire Grounding Plug, A Plug Having a
third (Grounding) Pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• All option card securement pins shall be completely tightened as to
provide continuous bonding between the option card and the PC
chassis.
•Outdoor Antenna Grounding - Since an outdoor antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
•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.
•Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other 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 may be fatal.
•Note to CATV System Installer - This reminder is provided to call the
CATV systems installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC, which
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.
