Fall

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.

Do not hang anything on the unit.

The unit may fall from the stand or wall- mount unit, causing damage or serious injury.

AC power cord

Unplug the AC power cord when moving the unit. Do not move the unit with the AC power cord plugged in. It may damage the AC power cord and result in fire or electric shock.

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

Magnet influence

This TV contains a strong magnet in the speaker unit that generates a magnetic influence. Keep any items susceptible to magnetic influence away from the TV speaker.

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.

Lightning

For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

Service

Damage requiring service

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

❑ When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

❑ If liquid has been spilled into the set.

❑If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch it, unplug the AC power cord.

Otherwise electric shock may result.
