16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should
be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
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 normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with
recommended 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 recommended by
the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna is connected to the receiver, 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,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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
connectors, location of antenna-discharge 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.
