Grounding or Polarization
This TV receiver is eq_:ipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade voider than the
other). ']?his plug will fit into the power'
outlet only one way. This is a safety

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.

13.Lightning

For added protection for this TV 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 receiver
due to lightning and power-line surges.

14. 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 touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

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

16. Object and Liquid Entry

receiver 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
receiver.

17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the TV receiver, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
