the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA NO.70,provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure,groundingofthelead-inwiretoanantenna
discharge unit , size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. (Fig.A)
For added protection for this TV receiver

This will prevent damage to the TV 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 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 might be fatal.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
