Power Source — The unit should be connected to power sup-
ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
masked on the unit.
Polarization — lf the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug
will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do noi defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Power Cord Protection — AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug
or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body
when connecting or disconnecting it.
Nonuse Periods — When the unit is not used, turn the power
off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should
be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is con-
nected to the receiver, 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, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, 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 figure below.
