Antenna Installation Safety
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the High Definition LCD TV, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Lightning
For added protection for the High Definition LCD TV 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 High Definition LCD TV due to lightning
and power-line surges. Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm –
lightning may strike while you are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your High
Definition LCD TV and wait for the weather to improve.
Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits.
