10. Power Sources — The CA-560 Compact
Power Adapter should be operated only

on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your product dealer or local
power company. Regarding other power
sources such as battery power, refer to
instructions in this manual.
11. Polarization — The CA-560 Compact
Power Adapter is equipped with a
polarized 2-prong plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other).
The 2-prong polarized plug will fit into the

feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete

of the polarized plug.

should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to plugs and the point
from which the cords exit the product.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an
outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna 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. See figure 1.
