(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

to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

If an outside 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. 70-1984,
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.
14. Lightning -
For added protection for this VCR 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 VCR due to lightning and
power-line surges.
15. 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

fatal.
