ELECTRICSERVICEEQUIPMENTGROUND CLAMP Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Cord Power-cord Protection - The unit is provided with an attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See operating instructions for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug. Overloading - Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not place the unit in an area where people will walk on the cord. Outdoor Antenna 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 onto such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits because contact with them may be fatal. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, 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 regard 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 the figure. Lightning For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and powerline surges. Maintenance Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.

3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

4) If the unit does not operate normally when following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage to the unit and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been

6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to high voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. Safety Check - After completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform a safety check to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition. Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.ENGLISH Welcome Thank you for purchasing this AIWA product.
