Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding for the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided
to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as practical.

To take measures to prevent the LCD Display from tipping over and prevent possible injury it is important to mount the unit
in a stable place.
Caution when moving the main unit
As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved it should be
lifted forward using the top and bottom frame on both sides of the 32" for stability, as shown below.
Securing to a wall
1.
Keep the LCD Display monitor four inches away from the wall except those hung to a wall mount bracket.
2.
Secure the monitor to the wall as shown below.
10cm (4 inches) or more

NOTES:
1. Do not block the ventilation holes of the LCD Display monitor or the AVC center. Blocking the ventilation holes might cause fire
or defect.
2. The LCD television has two AC cords, one on the AVC center and the other on the LCD Display monitor. In case of an
abnormal symptom, unplug both AC cords.
ANTENNA
Unless your LCD Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized
antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally
good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location
selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can
become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
When installing your LCD TV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.
