This receiver is made and tested to meet exacting
safety standards. It meets both UL and FCC require-
ments.
This symbol is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage
within the system’s enclosure that might be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock. Do not open the system’s
case.
This symbol is intended to inform you that
important operating and maintenance in-
structions are included in the literature ac-
companying this system.
CAUTION
Power Lines
— Locate an outdoor antenna away from
power lines.
Nonuse Periods
— Unplug the receiver’s power cord
when you will not use it for extended periods.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
— If an outside an-
tenna or cable system is connected to the receiver,
ground the antenna or cable system 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 information about
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 the
example below.
