Note to Satellite TV System Installer
: This reminder is provided to call the
satellite TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National
Electrical Code
(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.
Safety Tips
•
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet
before
cleaning.
•
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver
manufacturer will void the
Limited Warranty
.
•
Do
not
place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper
ventilation.
•
Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than
40°F or more than 113°F.
•
Do
not
stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices.
•
Do
not
place candles or other meltable objects on top of the receiver.
•
Operate the receiver using
only
the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug,
not
the cord.
•
Do
not
overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of
fire or electrical shock.
•
Never
insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause
fire or electrical shock.
•
Make sure
that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in
accordance with local, state, federal, and
National Electrical Code
(NEC)
requirements.
•
Do
not
locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme
care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be
fatal
.
•
Do
not
attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the
Limited Warranty
.
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
•
Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For
added protection during a lightning storm, or when the receiver is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and
disconnect the telephone line. This will provide some protection against
damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
