Outdoor Antenna  
Lightning  
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.  
For added protection for this unit receiver during 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 unit due to lightning and  
powerline surges.

Maintenance  
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.  
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth  
for cleaning.  
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable  
system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system  
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges  
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.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 the figure.  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
1) When the power cord or plug is damaged.  
2) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
4) If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating  
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.  
5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this  
indicates a need for service.
