20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded 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 and supporting
structure, grounding of the mast and supporting

discharge unit, size of grounding to conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See figure below.
21. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this CAMCORDER during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind onto
the CAMCORDER. Should spillage occur, unplug unit
and have it checked by a technician before use.
25. SERVICING:
Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to
