11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This product is equipped with a polarized alter-
nating-current line 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 fea-
ture. 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.
12. 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 partic-
ular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your product from 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 lightning
and power-line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be locat-
ed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such 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.

entry as practical.
