Precautions for Products with External Television Antenna Connectors

◆Extend only one component at a time. The rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.

◆Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your fingers.

◆Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating.

In addition to the general precautions described earlier in this section, be sure to observe the following precautions when using external television antennas with your product. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.

Compatibility

Compaq television tuner cards with antenna connections should be used only with Compaq personal computers that are intended for home use.

External television antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about proper electrical 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.

Lightning protection

To protect a Compaq product during a lightning storm or when it will be unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

Do not place an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them could be fatal.
