replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage surges and built-

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
