Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
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.
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 collide with 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.
