B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international
global 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

19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
20. 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.
21. Objects and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and
liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
