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

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.
