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 particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Protective Attachment Plug - The appliance is equipped with an attachment plug having overload
protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, 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
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1.
