Nonuse Periods. The power cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when leftunused for long periods of time.15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the prod-uct, be sure the antenna or cable system is ground-ed so as to provide some protection against voltagesurges and built-up static charges. Article 810 ofthe National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, providesinformation with regard to proper grounding of themast and supporting structure, grounding of thelead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size ofgrounding conductors, location of antenna-dis-charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,and requirements for the grounding electrode. SeeFigure A.16. Lightning. For added protection for this prod- uct during a lightning storm, or when it is leftunattended and unused for long periods of time,unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect theantenna or cable system. This will prevent damageto the product due to lightning and power-linesurges.17. Power Lines. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead powerlines or other electric light or power circuits, orwhere it can fall into such power lines or circuits.When installing an outside antenna system, extremecare should be taken to k eep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them mightbe fatal.
18. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience recepta-cles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electricshock.19. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, asthey may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electricshock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.20. Servicing. Do not attempt to service this prod- uct yourself, as opening or removing covers mayexpose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.21. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug this prod- uct from the wall outlet and refer servicing to quali-fied service personnel under the following condi-tions:a.The power-supply cord or the plug has beendamaged; orb.Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has beenspilled into, the product; orc.The product has been exposed to rain or water;ord.The product does not operate normally when fol-lowing the operating instructions. Adjust only thosecontrols that are covered by the operating instruc-tions, as an improper adjustment of other controlsmay result in damage and will often require exten-sive work by a qualified technician to restore theproduct to its normal operation; ore.The product has been dropped or damaged in anyway; orf.The product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-mance ; this indicates a need for service.22.
