replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION
-  Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely
to be
walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention
to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product
.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING � If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the product
,
be sure the antenna or cable system
is 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 informatio
n
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
A.
LIGHTNING
� For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from
the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This
will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES
� An outside antenna system should
not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme car
e
should be taken
to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
OVERLOADING � Do not overload wall outlets,
