Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna/satellite
dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and
static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA
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 the grounding
conductors,
location of antenna discharge
unit, connection
to grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
of
the
grounding electrode.

For added protection of the TV during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended
or unused for long periods of time, unplug the
TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
_,_._._
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power
lines or circuits.
Remember, the screen of the coaxial
cable is intended to be connected
to earth in the building

FCC Bulletin
for New TV Owners
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local
television
stations may switch sooner.
After the switch, analog-only
television
sets that receive TV
programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch
your local stations
to find out when
they will turn off their
analog signal
and switch to digital-
only broadcasting.
Analog-only
TVs
should
continue
to work
as
before
to receive
low
power,
Class A or translator
television
stations and with cable and satellite TV services,
gaming
consoles,
VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
