Safety
• Grounded
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the FS-M, verify that the antenna
or cable system is grounded. This provides some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Refer to Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, for information about
the proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Fig. A.
Lightning and Power Surges
During electrical storms or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug the FS-M from the power source and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such 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.
