When Not in Use
If you will not be using the TV set for several days, the
TV set should be disconnected from the AC power outlet
for environmental and safety reasons. The TV set is not
disconnected from the AC power source when the TV set
is switched off. To disconnect the TV set completely, pull
the plug from the AC power outlet.
Overloading
This TV set is designed to operate on a 110-240V
AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many
appliances to the same AC power outlet as this could
result in a fire or an electric shock.
Optional Equipment
Do not install optional equipment too close to the TV set.
Keep optional equipment at least 11.875 inches (30 cm)
away from the TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the
TV set or beside the TV set, the picture may become
distorted. Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may
occur if the TV set is positioned in close proximity to any
equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.
Small Accessories
Keep small accessories out of children's reach.
Antennas
Outdoor antenna grounding
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.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, ExTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST
INVARIABLY FATAL.
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 USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada 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.
