Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug that has one blade wider than the other. This plug
will only t into the power outlet in one direction. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the direction of
the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, cont act an electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purp ose of the polarized plug.
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 t hem,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, c onvenience receptacles, and at
the point which they exit from the product.
Protective Attachme nt Plug: T he product may be equipped wit h an at tach-
ment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating
instructions f or replacem ent or directions to re set the protective device. If
replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician h as used
a replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug
as specied by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an o utside antenna is connected to the prod-
uct, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static char ges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Co de, ANS/N FPA 70 provides infor mation with regard to pr oper
grounding of the mast and supporting stru cture, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna- discharge unit, size of grounding conducto rs, location of an-
tenna-discharge unit, c onnection to grounding electrodes, and re quirements
for the grounding electrode (see gure).
Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it fro m the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightn ing storm or when
it is left unattend ed and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning or power-line sur ges.
Power Lines: An outside antenna system should n ot be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electri c 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 f atal.
Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or inte gral conve-
nience receptacles as this can result in a r isk of re or electric shock.
