Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
electrically grounded 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 with regard to
proper electrical 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.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of any product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product from lightning and
power line surges.

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.
WARNING: When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them could be fatal.
