INSTALLATION
Polarization– This digital satellite receiver is equipped with a plug
that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the
plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your
electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not
use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully
insert the blades without blade exposure.
Antenna grounding example from the National Electrical Code
instructions contained in “Radio and Television Equipment”
Power Sources– Operate this digital satellite receiver only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer
or local power company.
Power-Cord Protection– Power-supply cords 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 cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the
product.
Overloading– Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles. This can cause a fire or expose
you to possible electric shock.
Ventilation– Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. Never block the openings by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place this product in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it is properly
ventilated, or you have followed the manufacturer’s instructions.
For electrical safety, power line operated equipment or
accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing
mark should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features.
This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock
or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
Heat– The product should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Accessories– To avoid personal injury or damage to the digital
satellite receiver, do not place the digital satellite receiver on any
unstable cart, stand, table, or bracket. Any mounting of the product
should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attachments– Do not use attachments unless recommended by
Hughes as they may cause hazards.
Satellite Dish Antenna Grounding– The outdoor satellite dish
antenna used to receive satellite signals and the cable used to
connect the satellite dish antenna to the indoor receiving unit are
required to comply with local installation codes and the appropriate
sections of the National Electric Code (NEC) and in particular
Article 810-15, which covers proper installation and grounding of
television receiving equipment, as well as to Article 820-33, which
specifies that the satellite dish antenna cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the
point of cable entry as practical. These codes require proper
grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor satellite dish
antenna and grounding of the connecting cable at a point where it
enters the house (or other building). If you are having a professional
installer perform the installation, the installer must observer
installation codes. This manual contains instructions on how to
make the installation in compliance with the NEC. If additional
local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities.
iv
Lightning–For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable
system, and disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Television Antenna Information– Installing an outdoor antenna can
be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer. Do
not locate the outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside
antenna is connected to the digital satellite receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. This digital satellite
receiver is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only
one way. Do not modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug
does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent
electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet
unless you can fully insert the blades without blade exposure. Section
810 of the NEC, NFPA No. 70 1987, 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 the
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Note to CATV System Installer– This reminder is provided to call
the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Power Lines– Extreme care must be taken when installing and
adjusting or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable,
especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or
power circuits. When installing the outdoor antenna or cable, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such
power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
Cleaning– Unplug this satellite receiver from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth
for cleaning.
Object and Liquid Entry– Never push objects of any kind into this
digital satellite receiver through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltages or “short out” parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the digital satellite
receiver.
Water and Moisture– WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

groupings in a variety of ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite
channels, Fav. B could be Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels,
and Family could be all channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate

authorized to receive. The results of this scan will be stored in the designated
channel list.
Note: Auto Set may exclude some channels such as the Music Choice
channels or include some pay per view channels. This does not mean that the
digital satellite receiver is faulty. These channels were excluded or included
due to the digital satellite receiver’s analysis process. You may edit the lists
manually to correct these oversights.

PreSelect is one of the handiest features of your digital satellite receiver. You
can use it to plan your evening or weekend viewing, then let the system do the
rest. PreSelect will initiate a drop-down menu offering your PreSelect options.
You can perform the PreSelect capability from within the on-screen guides.
Simply highlight the program you want schedule and press the
key. Each
press of the
key cycles through the available options.
To View will mark the selected program to be automatically tuned in when it
airs. At the right time the digital satellite receiver will turn on and tune to the
appropriate channel. Your selected programs will be identified on the on-screen
guide with a check mark (ü) before the program title.
To Tape is very similar to To View; however, if you have connected your VCR to
the digital satellite receiver via the IR cable and have properly set the VCR code
Using the menus - Draft A.03
23
from the Setup Menu, the chosen program will be recorded at the correct time.
If the digital satellite receiver turned itself on to record the program, it will also
remember to turn itself back off after the program ends. Programs you have
scheduled for taping will be identified with a videotape icon ( ) before the
program title in the on-screen guide.
When using the PreSelect To Tape feature the following steps must be
completed for the digital satellite receiver to perform unattended recording:
• Attach the VCR Control cable as described in the chapter “Setting Up Your
Satellite System.”
• Use the VCR SETUP screen as described in the chapter “DIRECTV
Digital Satellite Receiver’s Menu System.”
• Set your VCR to match the output of the digital satellite receiver. This could
be either RF (channel 3 or 4) or A/V (phono or S-video).
• Insert a recordable videotape of sufficient length in the VCR.
• Leave the VCR turned ON.
Don’t Schedule is used if you initiate the drop-down menu and then choose not
to schedule anything.
PreSelect To View
The PreSelect To View option appears when the unattended recording capability
is not available when a program is not authorized for taping. In this case, the
digital satellite receiver can still be scheduled to tune to it when it comes on.
Cancel PreSelect
Once a program has been scheduled for viewing, previewing, or taping, you
have the option of canceling the action. Schedules can also be canceled directly
from the on-screen guide by highlighting a scheduled program and pressing the
key.
If you wish to switch between To View and To Tape or vice versa, you must
cancel the current selection first, then choose the newly desired action.
24
Using the menus - Draft A.03
Canceling a scheduled program will also remove the check mark or videotape
icon preceding the program title on the on-screen guide.
If the program is currently airing, you will need to delete the event from the
SCHEDULER screen accessed from the MAIN MENU.
Buy
Buy is used for pay per view programming. The price of the event is displayed
under the title of the selected program. After highlighting the button and
pressing
, you will be given the opportunity to confirm your purchase.
If you are not authorized to make the purchase directly from the digital satellite
receiver, you will need to contact DIRECTV for assistance.
Buy Options
The Buy Options button is similar to the Buy button. This button will initiate a
drop-down menu with three purchase options: View, Tape, and Don’t Purchase.
The View price indicates the cost to view the program only. A purchase of this
type excludes the possibility of taping the event for later viewing.
The Tape price indicates the cost to record the event for later viewing. Of
course, you can also view the event when it airs if you select this option.
After choosing either View or Tape, you may either confirm or cancel the
purchase.
If neither purchase option is of interest to you, highlight Don’t Purchase and
press
Cancel Purchase
Some events may allow cancellation after they have been purchased, depending
on the event type, and whether the event has been viewed. Unviewed purchases
can usually be canceled. If the Cancel Purchase button is displayed, you are
allowed to cancel the previous purchase. If this button is not offered, then most
likely a portion of the event has already been viewed, committing you to the
purchase.
PreSelect permits you to select viewing choices in advance to avoid missing
them. Using PreSelect, your digital satellite receiver will automatically change
channels according to your selections and control your VCR for unattended
recording.
To PreSelect a program, find an upcoming program you wish to watch and press
the SELECT button.
PreSelecting Programs for Programs that have been scheduled to be taped are identified with a videotape
Taping icon (
) before the program title on the on-screen guide. If you do not want to
have the PreSelected program recorded, press the SELECT button again to
change the setting to be automatically tuned to for viewing.
When using the Schedule To Tape feature the following steps must be completed
for the digital satellite receiver to perform unattended recording:
1. Attach the VCR Control cable (refer to page XX).
2. Use the VCR SETUP screen.

Filters
The default setting for Filters is “Temporary.” With a setting of “Temporary,”
each time you leave the on-screen guide, all filters other than Channel List will
reset (all categories and complete class). If you change the Filters setting to
“Persistent,” any filtering that you should happen to do will survive exiting the

Advanced Preferences
The ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen
The ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen contains options that are less likely
to require changes once they are set. Most users will not make any changes to
this screen. This screen also provides a means to reset all preference options to
the factory defaults.
Receiver ID
Someday, you may choose to get a second digital satellite receiver. If both
receivers are in the same room or if you are using an RF remote control or a
remote control extender, you may experience interference between signals. To
avoid this “cross talk,” simply highlight the Receiver ID button and press
on the remote control to be used for that specific digital satellite receiver.
Remember to set your remote control to the desired code first. For information
Using the menus - Draft A.03

regarding changing the remote control code, see the chapter “Programming
Your Remote Control.”
Screen Ratio
Screen Ratio should be set to 4:3 for most televisions, which is the default. This
indicates that you are using a standard format television screen. However, if you
have a wide-screen television, you may want to change this setting to the 16:9
option. While setting this option to the wrong format will not harm your TV, it
may cause a distorted picture.
Channel Lock
The Channel Lock setting provides a way for you to set your digital satellite
receiver to permanently stay on a specified channel. When the setting is
anything other than “- - - -” the digital satellite receiver will always power up on
that channel and will ignore any attempts to change the channel. To allow
channel changing to function again, set this option back to “- - - -.”
Input button
The Input button option allows you to enable or disable the functionality of the
button on your remote control. This is useful if you are not using the local
TV pass through capability of your digital satellite receiver and want to avoid
getting a snowy picture from inadvertent presses of the
button. Note that
the pass through capability happens automatically when the digital satellite
receiver is powered off.
Using Locks and
Limits
The LIMITS screen provides settings to help you control the viewing
restrictions of DIRECTV® programming. These limits, when accompanied by
the CHANNEL LISTS, put a great degree of control in your hands. For the TV
Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced, the digital satellite
receiver must be locked, as described earlier in this chapter.

TV Timer
The TV TIMER screen
When you select TV Allow, the TV TIMER
screen will be presented. If your receiver
is locked, you will need to enter your
passcode to access this screen.
From the TV TIMER screen you can
specify the hours that DIRECTV®
programming can be viewed on your
receiver. This is done by highlighting
each of the days you wish to control and pressing
. After selecting a day of
the week, you can set an acceptable start and end viewing period or a total
viewing duration.
Max Rating
Program ratings indicate the suitability
of a program’s content for a given
audience. For families with younger
children, a lower rating limit may be
desirable. Other families may choose to
allow viewing of more sophisticated
programming. The LIMITS screen
leaves this choice and control up to
you.
Highlight the Max Ratings button and
press
to display the MAX
RATING pop-up menu where you set the limit. When the digital satellite
receiver is locked, the passcode must be entered to change the ratings limit.
Determine the highest allowable rating for your family and highlight it. When
you press
all ratings up to and including the chosen rating will be
checked. All higher ratings will be cleared. You may choose to Lock All or
Allow All instead of setting a specific limit.
Max Spending
Pay per view access enables you to
purchase special, limited-broadcast
events such as sporting events and
movies. You can set the maximum
purchase price on a per-event basis. To
change the displayed limit, highlight the
Max Spending button and press
to display the SPENDING LIMIT
pop-up panel. When the digital satellite
Using the menus - Draft A.03

receiver is locked, the passcode will be needed to change the ratings limit.
Use the number buttons on the remote control to set the limit or use the and
buttons to increase or decrease each digit. Use the and buttons to highlight
the digit that you want to change. The maximum limit is $655 per event.
Highlight OK and press
Lock/Unlock
to confirm the entered amount.
When you first receive your satellite system, it will be unlocked; (i.e., no limits
or restrictions are in effect). To enforce the limits (spending, ratings, and
“Family” favorite list), you must lock the system.
• When the button on the MAIN MENU reads Lock, no lock symbol appears
at the top of the menu screen, indicating that the system is unlocked.
Note: Once the satellite receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels will
be accessible. If the Family list does not have channels on it, no channels can be
viewed without first unlocking the satellite receiver. To avoid this inconvenience,
verify the contents of the Family list before locking the satellite receiver.
How to lock the system
The LOCK pop-up panel
When the Lock button is selected, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel is
displayed. Use the and buttons or the remote control number buttons to
enter a four-digit passcode of your choosing. If you enter the code using the
number buttons, you will not see the numbers appear on the screen. After
entering a four-digit passcode, highlight and select OK to proceed. Otherwise,
choose Cancel to cancel the locking process.
If you continue, you will be asked to confirm the code by entering it again in the
same fashion as before. Once again, highlight and select OK to proceed.
Otherwise, choose Cancel.
Once OK has been selected, the digital satellite receiver is locked. You will need
code whenever you wish to unlock or override the lock. The button used to lock
your system is now used to unlock your receiver. A lock symbol appears at the
top of every menu screen to remind you that the digital satellite receiver is
locked.

Using the menus - Draft A.03
Unlocking the system
The UNLOCK pop-up panel
To remove the lock and its
restrictions, highlight the Unlock
button and press SELECT.
When the SYSTEM UNLOCK
pop-up panel appears, you can use
the and buttons or the remote
control number buttons to enter the
four-digit passcode that you used to
lock the digital satellite receiver earlier. If you enter the code using the number
buttons, you will not see the numbers appear on the screen.
After entering the passcode, highlight and select OK. Once the digital satellite
receiver has been unlocked, all limits and restrictions are removed!
Otherwise, choose Cancel to keep the lock in effect.
If you forget your four-digit code, you must call DIRECTV for assistance.
Temporarily Overriding
the Lock
The OVERRIDE LOCK pop-up panel on menus
There are times you may wish to temporarily remove the restrictions imposed
by locking. You can do this without unlocking the digital satellite receiver.
When you press
, when prompted, the OVERRIDE LOCK pop-up will be
displayed. It looks and navigates just like the SYSTEM UNLOCK pop-up.
Note: Once the correct four-digit code is entered, the digital satellite receiver
will remain unlocked until you power the digital satellite receiver off. At that
time all locks and limits will be enforced again.
Remember that when the digital satellite receiver is locked, only channels
in the Family list can be viewed. This means that even though a channel
Using the menus - Draft A.03
35
appears on the Fav. A, B, C, or All Channels list, the selected channel must also
be on the Family list in order to see or hear it.
For the Family List limit to be in force, the digital satellite receiver must be
locked. Locking is described earlier in this chapter. When the system is locked
the passcode will be needed to modify the settings of the channel lists.

Search through the various brands of VCRs that are supported using the and
buttons. Related brands that share the same control codes may be suggested.
You may want to experiment with these if you are having difficulty finding a
functioning code under your VCR’s own brand name.
Code
More than one code may be assigned to your brand of VCR. Try each of the
codes offered by using CHANNEL (CH) SELECT button to step through each
code. Alternate between this procedure and testing the code.
Test (Record/Stop)
The testing function allows you to verify that the specified brand and code will
control your VCR. To run the test, the VCR Control cable must be properly
attached, a recordable tape must be in the VCR and the VCR powered on.
Use the front panel of the digital satellite receiver, rather than the remote
control, when testing the codes. This is because signals coming from the remote
control at the same time as signals coming from the VCR Control cable could
give unreliable test results.
Be sure to test both the Record and the Stop commands, which are necessary for
successful taping capability. If either Record or Stop fails to function, try other
Codes associated with your VCR brand. If you are unsuccessful in the test

The WATCHWORD setup screen is used to specify up to eight different words
that can be used to identify programming of interest to you. While the digital
satellite receiver is in standby mode the program titles and descriptions in the
guide will be searched. Programs which contain matching words, will be
included in the WATCHWORD on-screen guide.
Note: Note: For the WatchWord Guide to have the opportunity to find programs
with matching words, your digital satellite receiver must be turned off for a period
of time. It is recommended that you allow your system to look for your words while
you sleep or when you are at work. It cannot search for words while it is turned on.
(Is this still a true statement??)
Highlighting one of the eight choices and pressing
will initiate a pop-up
panel where you can define a search word. If “CAGNEY” and “ALIEN” were
specified, the “CAGNEY” search word might find movies in which James
Cagney performed in, as well as the TV series “Cagney and Lacey.” The

Programming the remote control - Draft A.03
This chapter explains how to program your remote control to work with the
other components in you home entertainment center using the Maufacturer’s
device codes. Using the remote control on page XX also explains how to use
the remote control to operate and additional satellite receiver, identfy stored
codes, and use AUX to control other components in your system.
How program your
remote control
This section describes two ways to program your remote control to work with
your TV, VCR, a/v receiver, and other components in your home entertainment
system. These methods are code scanning and code entry.
Code scanning may be more time-consuming, but you don’t have to use the
manufacturer’s control codes in table XX to program your remote control.
Using the code entry method may be quicker, but you will need to find the codes
assigned to each of your components in the table.
TV
MUTE
1. Keep you remote control aimed at the component you want to use.
2. Hold down the appropriate device button (TV, for example) then press the
MUTE button for a full second.
3. Release both buttons.
4. The device button (in this case, TV) will glow and remain lit. If the button
does not illuminate, repeat steps 1–3.
5. Use either programming method described below.
Code scannning Repeatedly tap the top part of the CH (Channel) button. Continue to step
CH
through the codes until the component turns off, indicating you have found the
correct code for that component. If you inadvertently pass a code that responds,
or realize that you might not hat been aiming the remote contol at the
component, tap the lower part of the CH button to step backward through the
codes. Press the remote control’s POWER button to verify the proper code.
Press the device button again to lock in the code.
Code Entry Refer to Table XX on page XX. Find the three-digit code or codes for the type
and brand of the component you want to control from table XX. If several codes
are listed, try each to find the one that works best. Press the device button again
to lock in a code. Press the remote control’s POWER button to verify the proper
code.

Questions & Answers - Draft A.03
Questions? Did we forget to tell you something? Many people, over time, have
questions about their satellite system. We have compiled the most common of
these questions and the answers in this appendix. We hope they help!
QI had a signal but now I am getting a message “Searching for satellite
signal. To access related utilities, press
.” What happened?
ARain clouds and snow can affect the satellite signal reception. This loss of
signal is temporary. Also check for new growth on trees and bushes that
could be blocking the signal. One other possibility is that the wind or
someone has moved the satellite dish antenna.
QWhy can’t I control my TV?
ABefore you can control your TV, VCR, or any other device, besides your
digital satellite receiver, you must program your remote control to match
your different devices. See the chapter, “Programming Your Remote
Control” in this manual for specific instructions. If you have already
successfully programmed your remote control, try pressing the appropriate
device key to put your remote in the proper mode. Then try controlling that
device. Also, make sure that the batteries in the remote control are good.
QMy digital satellite receiver does not respond when I press keys. What’s
wrong?
AMost likely, if the front panel keys work but the remote control doesn’t
work, try pressing the “SAT” key before trying to control the digital satellite
receiver. If that doesn’t work, press the “SAT” and “Mute” keys together
and try again. If that doesn’t work, or if the front panel keys don’t work
either, unplug your digital satellite receiver for 30 seconds, then plug it back
in. Since your digital satellite receiver is a computing device it is susceptible
to erratic changes in power and/or signal, just as any other computer, and
these sudden changes can cause it to become “confused.”
QSome channels look good, while others freeze or indicate that no signal is
available. What’s wrong?
AThe most common causes for this behavior relate to an improperly
grounded satellite cable. Check the cable between your digital satellite
receiver and the satellite dish antenna. Confirm that RG-6 (not RG-59)
cable is used and does not exceed 100 feet in length. Longer cable runs
require amplification. This special amplifier is available from your dealer.
QHow can I watch one channel while recording another?
AWith only one digital satellite receiver, unfortunately, you can’t. Each
receiver can only decode one channel at a time.
QI’m getting a message to call some extension. Why?
AThere are many different reasons for this. If you want to watch the channel
that is displaying the message, call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV
(347-3288).
QWhy don’t I have an on-screen offer to purchase pay per view programs?
AThere are three possibilities; your digital satellite receiver must be
connected to a phone line and it is not, or DIRECTV doesn’t realize that
your phone line is connected or has disabled your ability to make on-screen
purchases. Call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288), for assistance.
Questions & Answers - Draft A.03
47
QCan I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?
AThere are three ways to receive local programming:
If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and
have the proper satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECTV to arrange for the
necessary subscription package.
Install a traditional antenna (i.e. roof mounted, attic mounted or rabbit ears)
or “lifeline” cable TV.
Arrange for basic or “lifeline” cable service from your local cable company.
If you should select item 1 above, your local programming will appear in
the program guide just as any other channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the
local signal to the IN FROM ANTENNA on the back of your digital
satellite receiver. Use the
key to switch between DIRECTV®
programming and local programming provided on the OUT TO TV
connector.
QIf I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced,
who should I call?
AFor issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care
Center directly at 1-800-274-8995. If you would like, call your dealer first.
They are most familiar with your installation and needs. Also, they are
likely to be local to you.
If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels,
contact DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288).
QI think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape
back nothing was there. What could be wrong?
AThere are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was
programmed correctly and left turned on and the input matches the output
from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that you were authorized to tape
the chosen program.
QIWhy do I need to connect the satellite reciever to a telephone line?
AThe telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver report purchase
activity to DIRECTV.
QI picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing
sound. Why?
AYour digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that
may have occurred. This happens very rarely and lasts for only a minute or
so.
QWhat if my question isn’t listed here?
ACall your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995. We
will do our very best to answer your questions.

antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside
antenna is connected to the satellite receiver, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. This satellite receiver is equipped
with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not
modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do
not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully
insert the blades without blade exposure. Section 810 of the NEC,
NFPA No. 70 1987, 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 the grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV System Installer– This reminder is provided to call
the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Power Lines– Extreme care must be taken when installing and
adjusting or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable,
especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or
