the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug. If this product is equipped with a three-
wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third

810 of the National Electric Code. ANSI/
NFPA70 provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.

surges.
POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
