Wall or Ceiling Mount — The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Heat — The product should be situated awa y from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (in- cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video 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 infor- mation with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup- porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of anten- nas-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re- quirements for the grounding electrode. See the example below.

Power Lines — An outside antenna s ystem should not be locat- ed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or cir- cuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. In- stalling an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer.
