equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fi t 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
still fails to fi t, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug. If your unit is equipped with a
3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, this plug will only fi t into a grounding-
type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

through any openings in this unit as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in fi re or electric shock. Never spill or spray any
type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -
antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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.
Do not attempt to service this unit
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualifi ed service personnel.
