Tilt/Stability
– All televisions must comply with recommended international
global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.
y
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.
y
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

Power Lines
– An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
21.
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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE
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.
Please, make sure to connect the power plug to the wall outlet socket after
connecting the TV to the adapter!
