Important Safeguards (cont.)

14. Power Lines

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.

15.Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16.Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this TV receiver through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.

17.Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected

to the TV receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protec- tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA No. 70-1984, 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 dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode.
