12. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
13. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
14. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this LCD Flat Panel HDTV through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into
the LCD Flat Panel HDTV.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the LCD Flat
Panel HDTV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002,
provides information with respect 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.
