TV Antenna Connectors Protection External Television Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper electrical 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 Protection For added protection of any product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product from 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. WARNING: When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them could be fatal. 22

TV Antenna Connectors Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is electrically grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper electrical 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 Protection
For added protection of any product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product from 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.
WARNING: When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them could be fatal.
