IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected 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 (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 pro-
vides information with regard to proper ground-
ing of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-
tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver)
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam-
age to the product due to lightning and power-
line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be locat-
ed 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.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fall-
en into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabi-
net has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
