tion openings. Do not put it in a built-in system, such
as a bookcase or a cabinet that may keep air from
flowing through its ventilation openings.
8.
Do not install near any heat sources, such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wider blade or third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit in
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus
.
11.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
specified by the manufacturer or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

Avoid Power Lines
– Use extreme care when install-
ing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor
where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power
lines.
20.
Ground All Outdoor Antennas
– If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
will provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 provides informaiton with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the ground electrode.
Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this
page.
