against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits  
from the appliance.  
WARNING  
Lig h t n in g  
You are cautioned that any changes or  
modifications not expressly approved in this  
manual could void your authority to operate  
this equipment.  
For added protection for this appliance 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 appliance due to lightning and powerline surges.  
Ob je ct a n d Liq u id En t ry  
Never push objects of any kind into the appliance 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

ANTENNAS  
Ou t d o o r An t e n n a Gro u n d in g  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
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 grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
