For added protection for this TV 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 TV receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
12. 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.

receiver.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV
receiver, 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-
1984, 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.
