Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug that has one blade wider than the other. This plug
will only fit into the power outlet in one direction. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the direction of
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at
the point which they exit from the product.
Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attach
-
ment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating
instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective device. If
replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used
a replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug
as specified by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the prod
-
uct, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANS/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 an
-
tenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode (see figure).
Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning or 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 conve
-
nience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
