outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•
Lightning - For added protection and to prevent damage due to lightning and power-
line surges, unplug the host system, such as a computer, from the wall power outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. Unplug the host system from the wall
power outlet when left unattended or unused for long periods of time.
•
Never insert anything metallic into the TV tuner openings. Doing so may create the
danger of electric shock.
•
Openings in the TV tuner cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,
these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the TV tuner on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the
cabinet. If you place the TV tuner in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
•
Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits.
•
Antenna Installation - When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to prevent it from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact
with them may be fatal.
•
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the product,
ensure that the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810.21 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
•
Caution for users/installers in Norway - In Norway, there exists a possibility of a
hazardous situation due to voltage difference between the screen of the coaxial cable
of the cable distribution system and the local equipment earth (typically, earthed
chassis of the computer). To avoid any hazards, antenna/cable input connection from
the TV tuner card to a Cable Distribution System must be provided through a galvanic
isolator (not included).
Note: (for CATV system installer) This reminder is provided to call the CATV systems installer's
attention to Section 820.93 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 (for US/Canada)
and/or EN60728-11:2005 standard (for Europe), which provide guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specify that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
