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

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.
