not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

13. Mains Plug - Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the

disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

15. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning 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.

servicing to qualied service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualied technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a

need for service.

22. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service

technician has used replacement parts specied by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or other hazards.
