manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow
of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

appliance is not defeated.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No.70-1984, 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. See figure 1.
