(Continued from previous page)14. Outdoor Antenna GroundingIf an outside antenna or cable system is connected to theproduct, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded soas to provide some protection against voltage surges andbuilt-up static charges. Article 810 of the National ElectricalCode (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information withregard to proper grounding of the mast and supportingstructure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location ofantenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,and requirements for the grounding electrode.15. LightningFor added protection for this product (receiver) during alightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unusedfor long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet anddisconnect the antenna or cable system. This will preventdamage to the product due to lightning and power-linesurges.16. Power LinesAn outside antenna system should not be located in thevicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light orpower circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines orcircuits. When installing an outside antenna system,extreme care should be taken to keep from touching suchpower lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.17. OverloadingDo not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this canresult in a risk of fire or electric shock.18. Object and Liquid EntryNever push objects of any kind into this product throughopenings as they may touch dangerous voltage points orshort-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.19. ServicingDo not attempt to service this product yourself as openingor removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage orother hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service person-nel.20. Damage Requiring ServiceUnplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicingto qualified service personnel under the following condi-tions:a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.b.
