ings must not be blocked or covered. The open-
ings should never be blocked by placing the TV

point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna grounding-lf an outside an-
tenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charg;es. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information, with respect to
proper grounding of the mast: and supporting
structure, grounding of the _ead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig.
A)
14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and
power-line surges.
15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light of power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, ex-
treme care should be taken to keep from touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can restult in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
