13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-lf an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to lhe TV/VCR, 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 lea&in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14.Lightning-For added protection for this TVfVCR receiver
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 or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the TV/VCR due to lightning and
power-line surges.

15.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 into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might

be fatal.

16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind

into this TV/VCR through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on

the TV/VCR.

18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger-
ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-
fied service personnel.
