Power Lines ~ An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines 16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protec- tion against voltage surges and built up. static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1884, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup- porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conduc: tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A. 17. Nonuse Periods ~ The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. 18 Object and Liquid Entry — Care should be taken so. that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. 19. Damage Requiring Service ~ The appliance should be serviced by quolified service personnel when: ‘A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged: B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. 20. Servicing ~ The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to quolified service personnel. ° io Na 10 ANG 63 np No.8 AWS 84) Strano. 1?
