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.
Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
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.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged.
- If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
- If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal
operation.
