Important
Safeguards
(continued)
•
Never
place
the
set
in
a
confined
space,
such
as
a
bookcase,
or
built-in
cabinet
unless
proper
ventilation
is
provided.
•
Do
not
place
the
set
near
or
over
a
radiator
or
heat
register,
or
where
it
is
exposed
to
direct
sunlight.
Power-Cord
Protection
Do
not
allow
anything
to
rest
on
or
roll
over
the
power
cord,
and
do
not
place
the

the
power
cord
is
subject
to
wear
or
abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor
Antenna
Grounding
If
an
outdoor
antenna
is
installed,
follow
the
precautions
below.
An
outdoor
antenna
system
should
not
be
located
in
the
vicinity
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
as
to
provide
some
protection
against
voltage
surges
and
built-up
static
charges.
Section
810
of
the
National
Electrical
Code
(NEC)
in
USA
and
Section
54
of
the
Canadian
Electrical
Code
in
Canada
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
to
grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
for
the
grounding
electrode.
Antenna
Grounding
According
to
the
NEC
Refer
to
section
54-300
of
Canadian
Electrical
Code
for
Antenna
Grounding.
NEC:
National
Lightning
For
added
protection
for
this
television
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
disconnect
the
antenna.
This
will
prevent
damage
to
the
receiver
due
to
lightning
and
power-line
surges.
Service
Damage
Requiring
Service
Unplug
the
set
from
the
wall
outlet
and
refer
servicing
to
qualified
service
personnel
under
the
following
conditions:
•
When
the
power
cord
or
plug
is
_
damaged
or
frayed.
•
If
liquid
has
been
spilled
into
the
set.
•
If
the
set
has
been
exposed
to
rain
or
water.
•
If
the
set
has
been
subject
to
excessive
shock
by
being
dropped,
or
the
cabinet
has
been
damaged.
•
If
the
set
does
not
operate
normally
when
following
the
operating
instructions.
Adjust
only
those
controls
that
are
specified
in
the
operating
instructions.
Improper
adjustment
of
other
controls
may
result
in
damage
and
will
often
require
extensive
work
by
a
qualified
technician
to
restore
the
set
to
normal
operation.
•
When
the
set
exhibits
a
distinct
change
in
performance
—
this
indicates
a
need
for
service.
Servicing
Do
not
attempt
to
service
the
set
yourself
since
opening
the
cabinet
may
expose
you
to
dangerous
voltage
or
other
hazards.
Refer
all
servicing
to
qualified
service
personnel.
Replacement
Parts
When
replacement
parts
are
required,
be
sure
the
service
technician
certifies
in
writing
that
he
has
used
replacement
parts
specified
by
the
manufacturer
that
have
the
same
characteristics
as
the
original
parts.
Unauthorized
substitutions
may
result
in
fire,
electric
shock,
or
other
hazards.
Safety
Check
Upon
completion
of
any
service
or
repairs
to
the
set,
ask
the
service
technician
to
perform
routine
safety
checks
(as
specified
by
the
manufacturer)
to
determine
that
the
set
is
in
safe
operating
condition,
and
to
so
certify.
When
the
set
reaches
the
end
of
its
useful
life,
improper
disposal
could
result
in
a
picture
tube
implosion.
Ask
a
qualified
service
technician
to
dispose
of
the
set.
