16. Damage Requiring Service
- The appliance should be serv-
iced by qualified service personnel when:
A.
The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B.
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-
ance; or
C.
The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D.
The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E.
The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability
- All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability proper-
ties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-
sive 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 electron-
ic 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.
19. Power Lines
- An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
- If an outside antenna is con-
nected 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 mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, loca-
tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, 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.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION -
To prevent battery leakage that
may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the
unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

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.
