Grounding or Polarization
This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A warning that an apparatus
with CLASS
construction shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
10. Lightning
For added protection for this TV 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
or cable system. This will protect the TV from damage due to lightning and power-line
surge.
11.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. Where 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.
12.Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
13.Object and Liquid Entry
Never push
object into this TV through openings as they may come up
against dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric
shock. Never spill
liquid on or into the TV.
14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected with the TV, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric 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, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
