NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER
(For USA and Canada)
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of the cable entry as practical.
WARNING! (STABILITY HAZARD)
A television set may fall, causing serious personal
injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children,
can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
– ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting
methods recommended by the manufacturer of the
television set.
– ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television set.
– ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.
– ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.
– ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.
– NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
– NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.
– NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.
– NEVER place items that might tempt children to
climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top
of the television or furniture on which the television
is placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.
