type of the power supply you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization - This unit may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
11.
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 and plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
12.
Power Lines - An outdoor 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
outdoor system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. U.S.A.
models only - refer to the National Electrical Code Article 820
regarding installation of CATV systems.
13.
Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-
out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the unit.

of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mount and
supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
20.
