Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video product, 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, 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.  See example below.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

13

Power Lines—An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or

other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits.  When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching or approaching such power lines or circuits as con-
tact with them might be fatal.  Installing an outdoor antenna
can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna
installer.

USE

Cleaning—Unplug this video product from the wall out-
let before cleaning.  Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

15

Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any
kind into this video product through openings as they

may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock.  Never spill liquid of any
kind on the video product.

16

Lightning—For added protection for this video product
during 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 the video product due to lightning and
power-line surges.

SERVICE

17

Servicing—Do not attempt to service this video product
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.  Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.

18

Conditions Requiring Service—Unplug this video prod-
uct from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions.
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions.  Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions.  Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the video product to its normal operation.

e. If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet has

been damaged.

f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in per-

formance — this indicates a need for service.

19

Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are
required, have the service technician verify that the
replacements he uses have the same safety charac-
teristics as the original parts.  Use of replacements
specified by the video product manufacturer can pre-
vent fire, electric shock or other hazards.

20

Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this video product, ask the service technician

to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer
