13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protec-
tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70, 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. (Fig.A)
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV receiver during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system.This will prevent
damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15.Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light of 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 touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind
into this TV through openings as they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
TV.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified

cian to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance,
this indicates a need for service.
20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,

specified by the manufacturer that have the same charac-
teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other
