If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your
location, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
(12) Grounding or Polarization - This product may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-current 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.
(13) Power - Cord protection-Power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
(14) Protective Attachment Plug – The product is equipped
with an attachment plug having overload protection. This is
a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or
resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has
the same overload protection as the original plug.
(15) 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 ILL. 1.
(16) 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 prevent
damage to the product due to lighting and power-line
surges.
(17) Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

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.

cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
