23)Always operate this equipment from a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.

24)Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to

allow the condensation to evaporate.

30) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power

surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the

antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or
