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.

protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard 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 Figure A.

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.
17. 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.
18. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
