Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15. Televisions are designed to comply with the

as recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the reciever, 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 Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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
connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
Note to the 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 particular, 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.
Do not place any objects on the top of the
television which may fall or cause a child to climb
to retrieve the objects.
