tions.  
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION  
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your elec-  
trician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION  
Power-supply cords should be  
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
appliance.  
13. LIGHTNING  
To protect your product from 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
14. 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 con-  
tact with them might be fatal.
