or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
6) If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, 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 Electrical Code 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 conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection require-
ments for Ihe grounding electrode.

7) An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna systern, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
) TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat gonerated during
operation to be released.
Therefore:
-- Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, etc.
- Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
- hlever cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
- Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.
9) To avoid personal injury:
- Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
- Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.

- Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
18) Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet open-
ings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or elec-
trical shock.
11) Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid 01’an aerosol
cleaner.
11%)Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such addi,
tions may result in a hazard.

unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line
surges.
