Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to TV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
Cleaning
Unplug your TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the
exterior cabinet only.
Lightning
To protect your TV from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
your TV from lightning and power line surges.

Power cord protection
Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention
to cords at plugs, wall outlets, and the points where they exit from
your TV.
Water and moisture
Do not use your TV near water (for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool).
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your TV, and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do
not place your TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not place
your TV in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless
you provide correct ventilation or follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the
rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your TV dealer or local power company.
Moving your TV
If you move your TV from a cold place to a warmer place, wait until
the condensation inside the TV has evaporated completely before
you turn it on.
Sunlight
Position your TV so the screen is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Viewing environment
Use soft, indirect lighting while watching your TV. A completely dark
environment and reflection from the screen may cause eye fatigue.
Magnetic interference
Keep your TV away from high magnetic fields, such as powered
speakers, to avoid affecting the tint.

Maintenance
Use an isolated power transformer during maintenance because your
TV chassis may be electrified.
Note to cable system TV installer
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer's
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
correct 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.
