Tilt / Stability
- All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its
cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive
pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately
overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic
equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and / or personal injury.
18.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting -
The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. For use only
with VESA Wall Mount Bracket.
19.
Power Lines
-
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.
20.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
-
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 of the mats 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. See
Figure below.
21.
Object and Liquid Entry
- Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of
fi
re or electric shock, this apparatus
should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects
fi
lled with liquids,
such as vases should not be placed on this apparatus.
