Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to correct 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.

Cleaning

Unplug your TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the exterior cabinet only.

Lightning

To protect your TV from 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 your TV from lightning and power line surges.

Power cord protection

Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, wall outlets, and the points where they exit from your TV.

Water and moisture

Do not use your TV near water (for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your TV, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place your TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not place your TV in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless you provide correct ventilation or follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV dealer or local power company.

Moving your TV

If you move your TV from a cold place to a warmer place, wait until the condensation inside the TV has evaporated completely before you turn it on.

Sunlight

Position your TV so the screen is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Viewing environment

Use soft, indirect lighting while watching your TV. A completely dark environment and reflection from the screen may cause eye fatigue.

Magnetic interference

Keep your TV away from high magnetic fields, such as powered speakers, to avoid affecting the tint.

Maintenance

Use an isolated power transformer during maintenance because your TV chassis may be electrified.

Note to cable system TV installer

This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct 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.
