of the type of power supply to your home, consult your

appliance dealer or local power company. For appliances

intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,

refer to the instruction manual.

2. Power-cord protection Power-supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on

or pinched by items placed upon or against them,

pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

appliance.

3. CAUTION Polarization This appliance may be

equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a

plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will

fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to

fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

NFPA 70, 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. See

Figure.

18.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.

19.AC outlets Do not connect other audio equipment

with a power consumption larger than that specified

to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect

other electrical appliances, such as an iron or toaster,

to it to prevent fire or electric shock.

20. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

to this appliance, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper

operating condition.
