Tilt/Stability
– All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its
cabinets 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.
19.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting
– The appliance should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
20.
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 Cord, 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!

Objects and Liquid Entry
– Care should be taken so that objects do not
