-Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particularattention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles,andthe point where they exit from the product.
-The product is equipped with an attachment plug having overload protection.
This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If
replacementof the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by

15. OutdoorAntennaGrounding -If an outside antenna is connected
tothe receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
providesome protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.Article 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
requirementsforthe grounding Electrode. See figure:
