POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM
(NEC ART 250, PART H)
GROUND CLAMPS
ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT
ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20)
GROUND CLAMP
ANTENNA LEAD-IN WIRE
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER (NEC) NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
NOTE: • This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting system and AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.
• The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.
■ Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays. The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level. B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
■ This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and has a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.
GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21)
17) 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. Selection 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. 18) 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.
19) 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.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician to use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
21) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
22) 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.
23) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
24) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
