10. POWER SOURCES - This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. 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 fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature: If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

the outlet when left unused for long periods of time.
14. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure 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 an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure 1.
15. 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 present damage to
the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. POWER LINES - 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 into such power lines or other electric 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 might be fatal.
17. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
