This product has been designed and engineered to ensure your personal
safety. However, improper use of this product could produce electric
shock or fire hazards. To avoid defeating the product's built-in safeguards,

ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
INSTALLATION
1. Polarization or Grounding
If this product is to be connected to an outdoor antenna or cable system,
the antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide some
protection against power surges and built-up static charges. See Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, for information
about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, the proper size for grounding
connectors, location of the antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
(a) Your product may be fitted with a polarizing alternating-current line
plug (one blade wider than the other). For safety reasons, this plug
will fit the power outlet in one way only. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still fails to
fit, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature of the polarized plug.
(b) Your product may be fitted with a three-wire grounding plug (two
blades plus grounding pin). For safety reasons, this plug will only fit
a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature of the three-wire
grounding plug.
2. Lightning
To protect this product during lightning storms or when it is to be left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage due to lightning
strikes or power surges.
2. Power Sources
3. Power Lines
Operate your product only with the type of power source listed on the
marking label. If you are unsure about the type of power supplied to your
home, contact your product dealer or the local power company. If your
product is designed to use battery power or other power sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
An outside antenna system should never be located near overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor in an area where they
could fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, use extreme care to avoid touching power lines or
circuits. Such contact could be fatal.
3. Overloading
ANTENNA GROUNDING (National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70)

receptacles, as this could produce an electric shock or fire hazard.
