17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with
recommended international global safety standards for
tilt and stability properties of cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by
applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the

antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the anten-
na system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to prop-
er grounding of the mast and supporting structure
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
