Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside
■
antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, 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.
To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set.
■
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids,
■
such as vases, should be placed on the product.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
■
Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.
■
Use a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface of the TV panel. Using a hard cloth may scratch the panel surface.
■
Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is really dirty. (It may scratch the panel surface when
■
wiped strongly.)
If the panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.
■
To protect the panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or chemical cloth to clean it; such materials may
■
damage the panel surface.
