Antenna

WARNING

Bend down the part where the outdoor antenna line goes into the inside so

thatrainwatercannotowintoit.

• Rainwater going into the product may cause a fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

If you are using an outdoor antenna, please install it away from electrical wires to make sure it does not touch any nearby wires even when it falls down due to heavy wind.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

• If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor

antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur. Be sure the antenna system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.
