Safety Information (cont’d) 5

17.Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of cabinet design.

•Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product.

•Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

18.Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

19.Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

20.Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the anten- na system is grounded so as to provide some protection 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 prop- er grounding of the mast and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

21.Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

22.Battery usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leak- age that may result in bodily injury or damage to the unit:

•Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on the unit.

•Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alka- line, etc.).

•Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
