Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the
outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
To disconnect
the cord, pull it
out by grasping
the plug. Never
pull the plug
out by the cord.
Power-Cord Protection

walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or
against them, paying
particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and
the point where the cord exits from the
appliance.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is
installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can
come in contact with such power lines or
circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR
ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
