GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This product is equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
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, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your product from 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.
14. 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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
16. 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 fire or electric shock. Never
spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
