11. Power Cord Protection � Route power supply cords 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.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding � If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, pro-
vides 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
13. Phone Line Use � Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a
gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
14. Lightning � For added protection for this product during a light-
ning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long peri-
ods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the productFigure A
from lightning and power line surges.
