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.  
Outdoor Antenna  
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.  
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.
