InstallationWater and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a

child or an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer

for the specific model of projection

TV. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

❑ Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

AntennasOutdoor 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.

❑Never block the slots and openings by

placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

❑ Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

❑ Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
