IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

iIIIIII

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.
Section 810 of the National 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 requirements for the grounding electrode.

iIIIIII

For added protection for this television equipment 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. This will prevent damage to the
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

iIIIIII

An

outside antenna system should notbelocatedinthe
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.

"Some

cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber
by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the
scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or

4,

typically one of these channels is used. If this

is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions

on

installing cable TV,
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Please note:

An

o This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents

children from watching violent

or

sexual scenes that may be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and
the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age
and content.

o Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating

or

the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete

control.
