Television Antenna Connection Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable
system is connected to your FHDTV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is electrically
grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the
grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding
electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of your FHDTV during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended or
unused for long periods of time, unplug your
HDTV from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or
power circuits, or where it could fall into such
power lines or circuits.
Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is
intended to be connected to earth in the building
installation.

The nationwide switch to digital
television broadcasting will be
complete on June 12, 2009, but
your local television stations may
switch sooner. After the switch,
analog-only television sets that
receive TV programming through
an antenna will need a converter
box to continue to receive over-
the-air TV. Watch your local
stations to find out when they will
turn off their analog signal and
switch to digital-only broadcasting.
Analog-only TVs should continue
to work as before to receive low
power, Class A or translator
television stations and with cable
and satellite TV services, gaming
consoles, VCRs, DVD players,
and similar products.
