Note: Grounding is not necessary for reception, but we recommend it for better FM reception and to avoid damage from lightning when you use an outdoor FM antenna. Use a separate piece of thick polyvinyl insulated wire to connect the terminal to the building’s power service grounding electrode system.

Warning: Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since sparks might ignite the gas.
