(Continued from previous page)

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

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 electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) 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 product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

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.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product 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 kind on the product.

19. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or

other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service person-

nel.

20. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing

to qualified service personnel under the following condi-

tions:

a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product.

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 damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

21. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service

technician has used replacement parts specified by the man-

ufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric

shock, or other hazards.
