TV Antenna Connectors Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is electrically
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper electrical grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of any Hewlett-Packard product during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product from lightning and power
line surges.
