•  Outdoor Antenna Grounding 

- If an outside antenna or cable system is 

connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so 
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. 
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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. 

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER 

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of 
the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that 
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to 
the point of cable entry as practical. 

• Lightning 

- For added protection for this product during 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.

•  Power Lines 

- An outside antenna system should not be located 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. 

• Overloading 

- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral 

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

•  Flame Sources 

- No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be 

placed on the product.

•  Object and Liquid Entry 

- Never push objects of any kind into this product 

through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts 
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the 
product. 

•  Damage Requiring Service

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: 

– 

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. 

– 

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. 

– 

If the product has been exposed to rain or water. 

– 

If the product does not operate normally by following the operating 
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating 
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in 
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to 
restore the product to its normal operation. 

– 

If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. 

– 

When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a 
need for service. 

•  Replacement Parts

technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the 
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in 
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
