Philips SDV4310/27 Safety Instructions, Contact may cause electrocution, Specific requirements

Ground Clamp

Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected with an antenna discharge unit.Antenna discharge units (or Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the building or inside the building between the point of entrance

of the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of the conductors to the building.

2 Safety Instructions

BWarning

Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, keep ladder and antenna away from power lines.

Contact may cause electrocution.

2.1Antenna Grounding and Safety Warning

1Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building, should not cross over open conductors of electric light of power circuits.They should be kept away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of accidental contact.

2.2 About the Design ofYour Antenna

The design process of this antenna began in the very early days of DTV transmission, largely because of frustration with the selection of antennas on the market.The old antennas were all legacy technology from the 1950s. Popular thinking of the early days of DTV transmitting was “radio waves have not changed so why should we use different antennas for DTV?” Radio waves have not changed but

our transmission system and performance expectations have.We designed this antenna to be an integral part of the DTV transmission and reception chain. It is designed to maximize the strengths and minimize the weakness of the new ATSC system. It was designed to work with the DTV tuner and capture a more stable signal so the DTV tuner can do its job with a minimum of effort and create a razor sharp and stable picture on your DTV.This antenna was not designed by simulated theoretical physics; it was designed to work with the physics of the real world, the real world of changing weather, cities and mountains.This antenna will work in areas where others completely fail or provide marginal results with part time reception.
