Do not use this apparatus near water.6. Clean only with a dry cloth.7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heatregisters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)that produce heat.9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized orgrounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades withone wider than the other. A grounding type plug has twoblades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or thirdprong are provided for your safety. When the providedplug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician forreplacement of the obsolete outlet.10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinchedparticularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the pointwhere they exit from the apparatus.11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by themanufacturer.12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or tablespecified by the manufacturer, or sold with the appara-tus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving thecart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when un-used for long periods of time.14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing isrequired when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid hasbeen spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the appara-tus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operatenormally, or has been dropped.15. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should beserviced by qualified service personnel when:A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into theappliance;C. The appliance has been exposed to rainD. The appliance does not appear to operate normally orexhibits a marked change in performance;E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.16. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommendedinternational global safety standards for tiltand stability properties of its cabinet design.• Do not compromise these design standards by applyingexcessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinetwhich could ultimately overturn the product.• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placingelectronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Suchitems could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set andcause product damage and/or personal injury.17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should bemounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by themanufacturer.18. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be locatedaway from power lines.19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antennais connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system isgrounded so as to provide some protection against voltagesurges and built up static charges.Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPANo. 70-1984, provides information with respect to propergrounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground-ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size ofgrounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements forthe grounding electrode. See Figure below.20. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken sothat objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into theenclosure through openings.21. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent batteryleakage that may result in bodily injury, property damage,or damage to the unit:• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned asmarked on the unit.• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon andalkaline, etc.).• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a longtime.Note to the CATV system installer : This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shallbe connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.Example of Antenna Grounding asper NEC - National Electric CodeANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20)GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21)POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H)ANTENNA LEAD IN WIREGROUND CLAMPSELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENTGROUND CLAMP
