13. Power-Cord Protection

Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particu- lar attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is con- nected to this 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 (USA), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit

connection to the grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. (See Figure.1 on reverse side for an example).

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when product is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning and power line surges.
