IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read Instructions
- All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the product is operated.
•
Retain Instructions

•
Grounding
- CAUTION: For continued protection against risk of elec-
tric shock and fire, this accessory should be installed only in products
equipped with a three-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power out-
let. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•
All option card securement pins shall be completely tightened, as to
provide continuous bonding between the option card and the PC chas-
sis.
•
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
- Since an outdoor antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure that 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 Electri-
cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
•
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 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 may be fatal.
Note to CATV System Installer
- This reminder is provided to call the
CATV systems 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.
