Important safety Instructions
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 onto or against 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.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
19Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any
type of liquid into the unit.
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC),ANSI/NFPA70, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
