Ground outdoor antennas. 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. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about 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 reqldrements for the grolmding electrode.

Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing
Standard screen %rmat televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are pri- marily designed to view standard format flfil-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be ii-_the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying station- ary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per
"week.
Wide screen %treat televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primar- ily designed to view wide screen format fifil-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 1(5:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if yolu" model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on not>expanded standard format television video and pro- gramming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer gi'aphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (Ct_Fs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the t_i'ogi'amming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that oft_i" picture sizing f_atures, use these controls to view the different fbrmats as a flfil screen picture.
Be careflfi in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by yol u"Samsl mg limited warranty.
