Antenna Installation Instructions

1.Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some 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, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

2.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. Do not disconnect the antenna or

the power cord during a heavy storm lighting may strike while you are holding the

cable cord, causing serious injury; turn off your LCD TV and wait for the weather to improve.

3.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 into 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.
