19. Servicing  
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 Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/  
NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-  
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of  
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-  
trode.  
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as  
opening or removing covers may expose you to dan-  
gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel.  
20. Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer ser-  
vicing to qualified service personnel under the fol-  
lowing conditions:  
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen  
into the product.  
Example of Grounding According to National  
Electrical Code Instructions  
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

qualified technician to restore the product to its normal  
operation.

ards.  
15. Lightning  
For added protection for this product (receiver) dur-  
ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

to lightning and power-line surges.  
22. Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this  
product, ask the service technician to perform safety  
checks to determine if the product is in proper operat-  
ing condition.  
16. 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.  
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling  
only as recommended by the manufacturer. The  
product may slide or fall, causing serious injury to a  
child or adult, and serious damage to the product.  
17. Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as  
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
24. Heat  
The product should be situated away from heat  
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or  
other products (including amplifiers) that produce  
heat.  
18. Object and Liquid Entry  
Never push objects of any kind into this product  
through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-  
age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire  
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
