• If
an
outside antenna
is
connected to the television equipment,
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 Electrical Code 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Lighting - For added protection for this television equipment
during a lightning storm, or when it
is
left unattended and
unused for long period of time, unplug
it
from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage
to
the
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
• 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.
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked
flames
on
the top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this products
to dripping or splashing.
No
objects filled with liquids, such
as
vases, should
be
placed
on
the products.
