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 ED TV.

L

IGHTNING

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

LINES

Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.

O

VERLOADING

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

GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your ED 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.
