IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding
y
(Except for devices which are not grounded.)
Ensure that you connect the earth ground
wire to prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a
TV with a three-prong grounded AC plug must
be connected to a three-prong grounded AC
outlet). If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a separate
circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit
by connecting it to telephone wires, lightning
rods, or gas pipes.
Short-circuit
As long as this unit is connected to the AC
y
wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC
power source even if the unit is turned off.
Do not attempt to modify this product in
y
any way without written authorization from
LG Electronics. Unauthorized modification
could void the user's authority to operate this
product.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
y
(Can differ by country):
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow
the precautions below. An outdoor antenna
system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits as death or
serious injury can occur. 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 (NEC) in the U.S.A. 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 conductors, location
of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
