1"oensure that picture screen performance is of the highest quality, avoid rubbing any object or material on the screen that could scratch

When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive

Ple,ase follow the directions (on page 25) for the proper method of cleaning the screen.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CD-i, or TV information channel) which shows a
constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source

the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CD-i, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use,
turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

If an outside antenna is connected to the television
receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as

to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, 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.

NOTE: It is essential that any TV signal lines that are
to enter the home be grounded at the exact same point
as the power service grounding. This applies
regardless of any other grounding to those systems.

NOTE to CATV System Installer:.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

p',a-ticular, 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.
