other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
POWER LINES
•
An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light 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.
POLARIZATION
•
This video product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other.) This plug will fit into the power out-
let only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
