Antenna grounding and safety warning
1 . Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a build-
i n g , should not cross over open conductors of electric light or
p ower circ u i t s .T h ey should be kept aw ay from all circuits to avo i d
the possibility of accidental contact.
2 . Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be
connected with an antenna discharge unit.Antenna discharge units
(or Lightning A rrestor) should be located outside the building or
inside the building between the point of entrance of the lead-in and
the T V, and as near as practical to the entrance of the conductors
to the building.
