CAUTION Before connecting the DSS® receiver, read the Safety Information that came packed with the DSS® receiver. Outdoor Dish Antenna Grounding The outdoor dish antenna used to receive satellite signals and the cable used to connect the outdoor dish antenna to the indoor receiving unit are required to comply with local installation codes and the appropriate sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC), especially Articles 250, 810 and 820. These codes require proper grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor 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 make the installation, the installer must observe installation codes in making the installation. The DSS® System SelfInstaller’s Kit contains instructions on how to make the installation in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). If additional local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities. Compliance with National Electrical Code Before installing the DSS® System, check the electrical code guidelines in your area. Restrictions Before installing your dish, check the zoning codes, covenants and community restrictions in your area. Some rules prohibit installing large satellite dishes, but may allow small ones. Also, there may be restrictions in your area that limit the mounting height of dishes. If you encounter homeowner or community restrictions, call 1-800-6794776. Personnel at this number can provide information that may be helpful when attempting to obtain permission to install a DSS® system on your property.
