the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
10. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11. Power Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide 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 discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
13. Phone Line Use – Avoid using a telephone (other than a
cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote

report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
14. 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
from lightning and power line surges.
15. 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 onto 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. Refer to Satellite Dish
Antenna Assembly & Alignment Guide.
