safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.
- Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to
the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product.
- Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys
on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of
the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

only as recommended by the manufacturer.
20. Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,
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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding
connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that 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 cable entry as
practical.
Please, make sure to connect the power plug to the wall outlet socket after connecting
the TV to the adapter!
