LIGHTNING
For added protection of this video unit dur-
ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will pre-
vent damage to the video unit due to light-
ning and power line surges.
POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, where
it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system

touching such power lines or circuits as con-
tact with them might be fatal.
