IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as 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, 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
example below.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
13 Power Lines -- 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 or approaching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna
installer.
