SAFETY TIPS
of the set when high humidity persists.
15. The set has slots, or openings in the cabinet for ventilation purposes, to provide
reliable operation of the receiver, and to protect from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots or openings with cloth or other material.
• Never block the bottom ventilation slots of the set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug,
etc.
• Never place the set near or over a radiator or heat register.
• Never place the set in a "built-in" enclosure, unless proper ventilation is provided.
PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR SET
16-1. If an outside antenna is connected to the TV/VCR Combination, be sure the
antenna system is protected against voltage surges and built up static charges, Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, 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 electrode, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

16-2. Note to CATV system installer.
(Only for the TV/VCR Combination with CATV reception)
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.
17. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electrical lights or 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 circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
18. For added protection for this TV/VCR Combination 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. This will prevent damage due to lightning and
power-line surges.
