future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
17. POWER LINES
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. WATER AND MOISTURE
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
18. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)
The appliance should not be used near water - for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna 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. See Figure.
6. CARTS AND STANDS
The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
6A.An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)
aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel or
bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.
b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with
stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m)
apart.
7. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
S3125A
This equipment is not designed for use mounted on a wall or a

appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in a
built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2)
copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-
grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21(j).
