12Grounding or Polarization 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 fea- ture. 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 obso- lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13 Power-Cord Protection

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.

14Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the prod- uct, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to pro- vide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground- ing of the lead-in wire to an an- tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connec- tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
