Before using this umt please read these operating instructions
carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on
the unit itself as well as the safety suggeshons listed below.

Safety
1. Power Source -- The umt should be connected to power sup-
ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC
power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other),
that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safe-
ty feature If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them Never take hold of the
plug or cord If your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug
body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power
off When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should
be unplugged from the household AC outlet.
Installation
Environment
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outs,de antenna _scon-
nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is ground-
ed so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Elec-
trical Code, ANSlINFPA No. 70-1990, 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 figure
