Power-Cord Protection
• Routing Power-Cords
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Avoid sharp angles in the cord, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the
product.
• Non-Use Period
During extended periods when the device is not used, unplug
it from the power source and retract the power-cord.
Grounding or Polarization
• Polarized
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will
fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
• Grounded
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a
grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna
or cable system is
connected to the FS-
100, verify that the
antenna or cable
system is grounded.
This provides some
protection against
voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Refer to Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
for information about the proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
