If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the device, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines,
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
or approaching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. Installing
an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer.
Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system install-
er’s attention to Section 820- 40 of the National Electric Code which provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in par ticular, species that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Unplug the device during lightning storms. Unplug the device and remove any batteries
when the device will be unused for long periods of time.
Do not open or attempt to repair this device. Refer all repairs to authorized service personnel.
When replacements par ts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specied by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or other hazards.
Upon completion of any ser vice or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the device is in proper operating condition.
