GROUNDING WIRES
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, when liquid has been
spilled or when objects have fallen into the apparatus, or when
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. POWER SOURCE: This TV should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company . For TVs
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
16. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING : If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 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)
18. 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.
19. 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.
