13. Damage Requiring Service -The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
• The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
• Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
• The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
• The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
14. Tilt/Stability-All televisions must comply with recommended
international 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.
• 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.
15. Wall or Ceiling Mounting- The appliance should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
16. Power Lines-An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.
17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, make sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide protection against voltage surges and built up of static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code,ANSI/NFPANo.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.
18. Object and Liquid Entry- Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
19. Battery Usage CAUTION –To prevent battery leakage that may result

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
20. Keep this manual for future reference
Note to the CATV system installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines fo
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.
