External television antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to your Gateway PC, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges
and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 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.
Cable distribution system should be grounded (earthed) in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the
National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield
of a Coaxial Cable.
Lightning protection
For added protection of any Gateway product during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended
or unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system.
Important
The instructions are for the person who installs cable to the system.
Gateway assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and
trained in recognizing hazards in products with electric shock.
