manufacturer, or sold with the TV.

Any mounting of the appliance should follow

the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.

AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé

que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes)
recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’
installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez
les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt
brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive
et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de
déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

cords at plugs, convenience 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)
