EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE,
ANSI/NFPA 70
Positioning the appliance
1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table.
Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result if
it should fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved carts and stands
or shelf and wall mounting instructions. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with
a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example, near a bathtub,
swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.
Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna
LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
I
NSTRUCTIONS.
4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
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 informa-
tion with respect to proper 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.
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.
Plug in the power cord
5. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your product dealer or local power company. This product is 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 this polarized plug. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
6. 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 at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
Cleaning
7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
Service & Repair
8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.
F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
appliance to normal operation.
9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician’s assurance
that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the same characteristics as
the original parts were used, and that routine safety checks have been performed to
determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use with this appli-
ance as they may cause hazards.
11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.
12. 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 a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
CAUTION
