14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure 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
Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides informa-
tion with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-
tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) 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.
16. 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.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
