Whirlpool XVT3D424SV - Manual (Page 7)

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that
the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused
for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such
power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to
earth in the building installation.
