may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not 

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does 

cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-

tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment 

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 

interference by one or more of the following measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase  the  separation  between  the  equipment  and 

receiver.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-

cian for help.

Caution: 

Changes or modifications not expressly ap-

proved by HARMAN could void the user’s authority to op-

erate the equipment.

For Products with Radio Re-

ceivers That Can Use an Ex-

ternal Antenna (USA ONLY):

CATV (Cable TV) or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to 

this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to pro-

vide some protection against voltage surges and static 

charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 

(NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with 

respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting 

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of an-

tenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes 

and requirements of the grounding electrode. 

Note to CATV System Installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV (cable TV) 

system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC, 

which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in 

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-

nected to the grounding system of the building, as close 

to the point of cable entry as possible.
