9. 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 (U.S. A.), ANSI / NFPA 70 provides information with regard 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.

Example of Grounding According to National
Electrical Code Instructions

Ground Clamp

Equipment

NEC - National Electrical Code

10. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall on to 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.

11. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.

12. 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 re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or inside the TV.
