ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

1. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/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, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product 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 or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not
disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm or lightning may strike while you
are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your LCD TV display and wait for the
weather to improve.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power 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 may be fatal.
