14.
If
an
outside
antenna
is
connected
to
the
television
equipment,
be
sure
the
antenna
system
is
grounded
so
as
to
provide
some
protection
against
voltage
surges
and
built
up
static
charges.
In
the
U.S.
Section
810
of
the
National
Electrical
Code
and
in
Canada
Part
1
of
the
Canadian
Electrical
Code
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,

For
added
protection
for
this
television
receiver
during
a

it
is
left
unattended
and
unused
for
long
periods
of
time,

lines
or
circuits.
When
installing
an
outside
antenna
system
extreme
care
should
be
taken
to

touching
such
power
lines
or
circuits
as
contact
with
them
might
be
fatal.

may
result
in
damage
and
will
often
require
extensive
work
by
a
qualified
technician
to
restore
the
television
receiver
to
normal
operation.
e.
If
the
television
receiver
has
been
dropped
or
the
