IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
• If an outside antenna is connected to the television 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
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Lightning - For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for a long period
of
time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to
the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
• 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.
•

of
candle
or
