Outdoor Grounding System

If this product connects to an outdoor antenna or cable system, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded (earthed). This provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides the following information:

•Grounding of the mast and supporting structure

•Grounding the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit

•Size of the grounding conductors

•Location of the antenna-discharge unit

•Connection to grounding electrodes

•Requirements for the grounding electrodes (see the following antenna grounding diagram as recommended by NEC ANSI/NFPA 70)

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. Plugging this product into a surge protector may reduce the risk of damage.

Note: Unplugging this product for an extended period of time can result in loss of authorization. For reauthorization, contact your cable service provider.

Power Lines

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits.

Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as contact might

be fatal. 20050719STBD
