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.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning
and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other 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 such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your C 338 you will nd
• Two detachable mains power cord
• AMP 3 remote control with 3V CR2025 battery
• Two Wi-Fi antenna and one Bluetooth antenna
• Quick Setup Guide
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 338 arrived.
Should you move or need to transport your C 338, this is the safest
container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect
components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton so,
please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
25 feet / 8meters, between the C 338’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 338 generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components.
RESTORING C 338 TO ITS FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
Press and hold front panel’s SOURCE s button until the display shows “C3”.
Release SOURCE s button to complete the restoration of the C 338 to its
factory default settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When you restore your C 338 to its factory default settings, all settings or
congurations you have setup will also be reset or deleted.
