', Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- Ifall outside antenrla is connected to tile television equipment, be sure the antenna

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.

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal

without tools (Commercially available).
