2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one
wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
Always hold the plug firmly and make sure your
hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the
AC power cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc.
on the plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
The plug fits into outlet one way. If it cannot be fully
inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an
electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not
. tamper with the plug.
The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper
outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
` 3 POWER CORD
To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against
electrical shock, fire or persona! injury:
- Keep power cord away trom heating appliances
and walking traffic. Do not rest heavy objects on,
or roll such objects over the power cord.
- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
- An extension cord should have the same type
plug (polarized or grounding) and must be
securely connected.
- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords is a
fire hazard.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified electrician.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If blocked, heat

Canadian Electrical Code)
provides information
regarding 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.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER
LINES OR CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and
electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these power sources
should it ever fall. When installing antenna, absolutely never touch
power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal.
