22) 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.

23) 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.
Article810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regards to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

24) Protective Attachment Plug - The product is equipped with
an attachment plug having overload protection. This is a
safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or
resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the
same overload protection as the original plug.

25) Stand - Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal
injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart,
