an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manu-
facturer.
12.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into appa-
ratus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or mois-
ture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of
these materials may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling information,
please contact your local authorities or the Electronic
Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
Note to the CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
A.
The power supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B.
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled
into the appliance; or
C.
The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D.
The appliance does not appear to operate nor-
mally or exhibits a marked change in perform-
ance; or
E.
The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with rec-
ommended international global safety standards for tilt
and stability properties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying
excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet
which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing
electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such
items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set
and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be locat-
ed away from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be
taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through openings.
