25)Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

power surges, always unplug the power cord and

disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV

permanently ingrained in the picture tube and cause

subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of

damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it

is displaying the following formats or images:

¥ Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock

tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, closed

captions, and websites.

¥ Special Formats that do not use the entire screen.

For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a

normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of

screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a

widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right
