Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10)

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
Only use attachments / accessories specified by
11)
the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand,
12)
tripod, bracket or table specified

If an outside antenna is connected to the
television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. In the U.S. Section 81021 of the National Electrical Code 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.
