and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharg
e unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
16. Lightning-For added protection for this product during a lightning storm or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric 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 fatal.
18. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch danger
ous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
20. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

hazards.
23. Safety check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
24. Heat-The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
25. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
