grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
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

particular attention to cords or plugs, convenient receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the unit.

provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 0-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
and supporting structure, grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
See figure below.
14 LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this DVD 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 prevent damage to the DVD due to lightning and
power-line surges.
15 POWER LINES:
