Do not install the outdoor antenna system near of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so that it can provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada provides information with in regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-
tion of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and clean it regularly. If the plug is covered with dust and gath-
ers moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result in a fire.
Cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set
When cleaning this TV, unplug the AC power cord. If not, it may result in electric shock.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the cabinet of the TV. To remove dust near the screen, wipe it
gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened
with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or
benzine for cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction
provided on the package. The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time.
To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend you to remove the dust periodically (once a month) using
a vacuum cleaner, while the LCD TV is powered off.
