CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - DO NOT OPEN SAFEGUARDS:

1. If an outside antenna is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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 the groundving conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connections to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Please see figure below.

2. For added protection for this electronic equipment during a lighting storm, or when it is

left unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the device due to lightning and power-line surges.

3. 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.
