local power company. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instruction.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully

overload protection as the original plug.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna
is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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 mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
