Television Antenna Connection Protection
External Television Antenna
Grounding
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable
system is connected to your HDTV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is electrically
grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the
grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding
electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of your HDTV during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended or
unused for long periods of time, unplug your
HDTV from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or
power circuits, or where it could fall into such
power lines or circuits.

FCC Bulletin for New TV
Owners
After February 17, 2009, a television receiver
with only an analog broadcast tuner will
require a converter box to receive full power
over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna
because of the Nation's transition to digital
broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should
continue to work as before to receive low
power, Class A or translator television
stations and with cable and satellite TV
services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD
players, and similar products.
Information about the DTV transition is
available from http://www.DTV.gov or this
manufacturer at
877 MY VIZIO (877-698-4946), and from
http://www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009
for information about subsidized coupons
for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
Your HDTV comes with a built-in tuner
capable of processing digital broadcasts,
making it easier for you to receive this type
of signal without the need of an extra
converter box.
