9)

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

 

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

 

two blades with one wider than the other. A

 

grounding type plug has two blades and a third

 

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third

 

prong are provided for your safety. If the

 

provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

❑ Be sure to observe the TV’s “For Safety” section on page 6.

Antennas

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada 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.

Antenna Grounding According to the NEC

Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna Grounding.

 

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

 

the apparatus.

11)

Only use attachments/accessories specified by

 

the manufacturer.

12)

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

 

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with

 

the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution

 

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to

 

avoid injury from tip-over.
