SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result
in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any
type of liquid on the product.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge product,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge product, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for
grounding electrodes.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or those
that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20. SAFETY CHECK

24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
