line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only work in a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.

receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
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 Electric
Code. ANSI/NFPA70 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. See Figure A.
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.
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 such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.

extension cords or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
