should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects
of any kind into this TV through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the TV.
