replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING-If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. Article 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 elec-
trode. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING-For added protection for this TV receiv-
er during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattend-
ed and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable sys-
tem. This will prevent damage to the TV due to light-
ning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES-An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light of 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 such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING-Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY-Never push objects
of any kind into this TV through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liq-
uid of any kind on the TV.
