Never place 1he set in a conlined space such as
a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper venila-
lion is provided¸
Fower-Cord Protection--Route the power cord so
that it is not likely to be walked On or p{nched by
items placed upon or against them, playing par-
ticular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the
point where the cord exits from the appliance
--Do not place the set near over a radiator or heat
register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight
OUTSIDE ANTENNA, EQUIPMENT, AND POWERLINE EXPOSURE
1 ENSURE SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
It an outside antenna or cable system is connected to provide some pro-
tection the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some pro*
teetion against built up static charges and voltage surges• Section 810 of
the Netional Eleetional Code ANSt/NEPA NO 70.1984, provides information
with respect to proper groundingofthe mast and suPPOrtingstructure,groun-
dangof the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode:
See figure 1 for items a-d below
a. Use NO 10 AWG (5.3mm 2)aluminum NO.8 AWG (8.4mm 2)NO. 17-AWG
(10ram2)copper-etad eteel or bronze wire, or larger, as ground wire
b. Secure antenna tead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off in-
sulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart•
c Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house
d Use jumper wire not smaller than No 6 AWG (13.3 mm _) copper, or the
equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used See
NEC Section 810-21 (I)
2 ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO H_GH VOLTAGEPOWER SOURCES
OR CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY iNSTALLER
An outside antenna system shouldbe located where it will never be reach
ed by power lines, e_eetdc light or power circuits and where it will never
contact these power sources if it fails, Ineta_ler should use extreme care
to avoid possible fatal contact by touching power fines, circuits or other
power sources when installing OUtSide antenna
Lightning--For added protection for this set during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for _dng periods of time, ur_plug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will preveet damage to the set due to
lightning and power-line surges.
SERVICE
Damage Requiring Service--Unplug the set from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel under the following conditions:
--When fhe power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed
FRAYED OR TAUT
AC LINE
CRACKED PLUG
--Ifliduid has been spilled or objects have fallen in-
to the set
--if the set has been exposed to rain or water
--If the set has been subject to excessive shock by
being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged
--If the set does not operate nor really when follow-
ingthe operatinginstructions Adjust ontythose con
troisthat are specified inthe operating instructions
Imporper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will etffen require extensive work by a
dualgied technician to restore the set to normal
operation
When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance--this indicates a r_eed for service
Servicing--Do not attempt to service the set
yourself as openingor removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel,
Replacemen! parts--When replacement parts are
required, be sure fhe service technician has used
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
Safety Check--Upon completion of any serwce or
repairs to the set, as the service technician to per-
form routine safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe
operating condition
