used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Televisions are designed to comply with the recommended

ommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protec-
tion 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 ground-
ing for the mast 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.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provid-
ed to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-

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.
