This plug will only t into the power outlet in one direction. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact
an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

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