12  Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is 
connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded 
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges.  Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 
provides information with respect to proper 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.  See 
example below. 
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING 
13  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 or approaching 
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  Installing an 
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna 
installer. 
USE 
14  Cleaning -- Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning.  
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 
15  Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this video 
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-
out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.  Never spill liquid of any kind 
on the video product. 
 
 
 
 
 
16  Lightning -- For added protection for this video product during 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 video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
