Antenna Installation Safety Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the LCD TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Lightning For added protection for the LCD TV 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 LCD TV due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm - lightning may strike while you are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your LCD TV and wait for the weather to improve. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits. 1) Read these instructions. 2) Keep these instructions. 3) Heed all warnings. 4) Follow all instructions. 5) Do not use the LCD TV near water. 6) Clean only with a dry cloth. 7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9) Do not attempt to bypass the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding- type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. If the provided plug does not fit into your wall outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the ends of the cord. 11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the LCD TV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart to avoid injury or damage. 13) Unplug the LCD TV during lightning storms or when it is not being used for a long period of time. 14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the LCD TV has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the LCD TV, it has been exposed to rain or moisture, it does not operate normally, or the TV has been dropped. 3

cable
system
is
connected
to
the
LCD
TV,
be
sure
the
antenna
or
cable
system
is
grounded
to
prevent
voltage
surges
and
built-up
static
charges.
Article
810
of
the
National
Electrical
Code,
ANS/NFPA
70,
provides
information
on
proper
grounding
of
the
mast
and
supporting
structure,
grounding
of
the
lead-in
wire
to
an
antenna
discharge
unit,
connection
to
grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
for
the
grounding
electrode.
Lightning
For
added
protection
for
the
LCD
TV
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
LCD
TV
due
to
lightning
and
power
-line
surges.
Do
not
disconnect
the
antenna
or
the
power
cord
during
a
heavy
storm
lightning
may
strike
while
you
are
holding
the
cable
cord,
causing
serious
injury.
Turn
off
your
LCD
TV
and
wait
for
the
weather
to
improve.
