15. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable system 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
(Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
