being pinched, frayed, or stepped on. After connecting other devices to this device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving unit), as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which may break the wire strands of the cord.

12. Antenna Grounding - Although this device provides protection against electrical

surges, when connecting an outside antenna or cable system to devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage surges and static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration - next page).

grounding the device to an external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is made in accordance with the instructions provided by the TVSS device.

14. Lightning - This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to

protect against lightning and other sources of voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this device or the devices connected to this device, off during a lighting storm.

15. Power Lines - Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power lines, or

other electric light or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise come in contact with these power sources. Do not allow the ladder being used, or the antenna itself to come into contact with these power sources, and such contact may be fatal.
