18.
Use proper power sources -
Plug
the product into
a proper
power
source, as described
in
the operating
instructions
or
as marked on the product.
19.
Avoid power
lines-
Use extreme care when
installing
an outside antenna system to keep from
touching
power
lines
or
circuits, as contact with
them may
be
fatal.
Do
not
install external
antennas
near overhead power
lines
or other
electric light
or
power circuits, nor where an antenna can
fall
into
such circuits
or
power
lines.
20.
Ground
all
outdoor
antennas-
If
an
external
antenna
or
cable
system is connected
to
this
product,
be
sure the antenna
or
cable
system is
grounded. This will
provide some protection against
voltage
surges and
built-up
static charges.
