- Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the pointwhere they exitfrom the product.
- 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 thathas the same overloadprotection as the originalplug.
- For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods oftime, unplug it from thewall outlet and disconnect theantenna or cable system. This
will prevent damageto the product dueto lightning and power-linesurges.
-An outside antennasystem should notbe located inthe vicinity ofoverhead power linesor 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 mightbe fatal.
- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in arisk of fire orelectric shock.
- Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltagepoints or short-outparts that couldresult in afire or electric shock. Neverspill liquid of
any kind onthe product.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or otherhazards. Refer allservicing to qualified servicepersonnel.
- Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under thefollowing conditions:
a) When the power-supplycord or plug isdamaged,
b) If liquid hasbeen spilled, or objectshave fallen into theproduct,

other products (including amplifiers)that produce heat.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so asto provide some protection againstvoltage 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. See figure:
