IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15. Televisions are designed to comply with the recommended
safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the
cabinet which could cause the product to overturn resulting in
product damage and/or personal injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding
for 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.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
