The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of a
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.

11. Only use the 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
apparatus.
When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

15. Televisions
are
designed
to
comply
with
the
recommended safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top,
of the cabinet which could cause the product to
overturn resulting in product damage and/or personal
injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up
static charges.
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.
