EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER (NEC) NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static

charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code 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 grounding

conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

19) An outside antenna system should not be located 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 extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

20) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.

c . If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD TV to normal operation.

e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

21) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22) WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE SET. (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.)

23) WARNING : KEEP UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS OUT OF THE REACH OF

SMALL CHILDREN. THESE OBJECTS CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. ALSO, BE CAREFUL ABOUT PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC SHEETS.

24) CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

25) CAUTION : USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.

26) CAUTION : DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
