Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with 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,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

VESAWALLMOUNTING
Here shown may be somewhat different from your TV.
Following are shown some examples of VESA standard 200ram mounts. Since there are numerous types of stands
and mounts available, only a few are shown here. Refer to the instructions provided with the TV stand that will be
used to mount the TV.
General Guidelines: Choosing alocation for
installing a VESA Standard Mount Typical Wall Stud Type Mount with
Swivel Bracket
_0
rT1
_o
O
z
}_" 200ram '_
Be sure the style of stand selected is capable of supporting
the weight of the TV.
If the mount will be on a wall, a typical wooden stud behind
the wall board would be the preferred choice for a location to
attach the wall mount. The wall mount location chosen should
be appropriate for drilling holes and have available the
required power source as well as antenna/cable and other
equipment leads.
For pedestal-type mounts, a sturdy surface on a desk or other
similar fiat table-like surface would be the appropriate
location for mounting a pedestal-style TV stand. (Some
stands are portable and can be moved from one location to
another.) Be sure all safety considerations are followed.
Most stands are designed so that the wiring would be
threaded through the stand itself or a loop-through style
clamp so that the wiring is neatly bunched and not strung in
such a way as to create a potential hazard to the user.
