the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug. 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, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Lightning - For added protection during a lightning storm, unplug the unit 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. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take care to keep from touching power lines or circuits. Contact with them might be fatal. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind through product openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 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 personnel. 7

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, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Lightning
— For added protection during a lightning storm,
unplug the unit 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.
Power Lines
— An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, take care to keep
from touching power lines or circuits. Contact with them might
be fatal.
Overloading
— Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
— Never push objects of any
kind through product openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
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
personnel.
