14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Section 8"!0 ofthe National Electrical Code and in Canada Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code 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 requiremenls for the grounding electrode. See Figure.

15. For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, er when it is left unattended ancl unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. -I-hiswill prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines 3r 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.

How to Install VHF/UHF Rod Antenna

A VHF/UHF rod antenna is supplied.

Push the stem of the VHF/UHF antenna into the antenna hole on the cabinet back as shown. Extend the antenna and adjust its length, direction and angle for the clearest picture.

Outdoor VHF/UHF Antenna - Reception is best with a properly installed outdoor antenna, particularly in weak signal areas. Contact your Dealer or Service Technician for recommendations of antennas bes[ suited for your area when

required. Connect antenna as shown in one of the drawings.

Cable TV Connection

You are capable of receiving channels from general types of cable TV systems. Certain cable systems offset some channels to reduce interference or have Premium (scrambled) channels, so a cable converter box is required. To ensure

proper installation and reception, check with your local cable company for its compatibi',ity requirements.
