Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An

outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of

overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM

CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS

CONTACT WITH THEM 1S ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and

Lightning

For added protection for this television receiver 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.
