surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National
(FOR U.S.A.)
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70—1984. provides infor-
mation with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

If the cassette is upside down, it cannot be inserted.
The
safety
tab
must
be
in
place
if
you
want
to
record.
Remove
to
prevent
erasure.
If
the tab
is
removed
after
recording
and
you
wish
to
erase
the
