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 offire orelectric shock.
- Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points orshort-out parts thatcould resultin afire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind onthe product.
- Do not attempt to service this productyourself as openingor removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage orother hazards. Referall servicingto qualifiedservice personnel.

other products (includingamplifiers) that produceheat.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protectionagainst voltagesurges
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:
