Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct power source for
this product. Operate this product only from an electrical outlet
with the voltage and frequency indicated on the product label.
If you are uncertain of the type of power supply to your home
or business, consult your service provider or your local power
company.
The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible and operable
at all times.
Ground the Product
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fi re hazard!
If this product connects to coaxial cable wiring,
be sure the cable system is grounded (earthed).
Grounding provides some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Outdoor Grounding System
If this product connects to an outdoor antenna or cable
system, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
(earthed). This provides some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990, provides the following information:
• Grounding of the mast and supporting structure
• Grounding the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit
• Size of the grounding conductors
• Location of the antenna-discharge unit
• Connection to grounding electrodes
• Requirements for the grounding electrodes (see the
following antenna grounding diagram as recommended by
NEC ANSI/NFPA 70)
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fi re hazard!
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or power circuits. Touching
power lines or circuits might be fatal.
