18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code 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.

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 20) Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled into the TV. c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal operation. e. If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service. 21) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 22) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN, MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE SET (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.). Warning Never place a TV in an unstable location. A TV may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as: • Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the TV. • Only using furniture that can safely support the TV. • Ensuring the TV is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture. • Not placing the TV on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support. • Not placing the TV on cloth or other materials that may be located between the TV and supporting furniture. • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its controls. If your existing TV is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied. 23) WARNING: SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN. DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION. 24) WARNING: To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times. 25) WARNING: Do not place this TV in any medical institutions or locations with medical devices. Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the medical devices and cause accidents due to the malfunction. English 5
