13 An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or 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.
14 Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
15 Never push objects of any kind into this
TV/VCR Combination through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the TV/VCR Combination.
16 Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR
Combination yourself as opening or remov-
ing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
17 Unplug this TV/VCR Combination from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following condi-
tions:
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the TV/VCR Combination.
(c) If the TV/VCR Combination has been
exposed to rain or water.
(d) If the TV/VCR Combination does not
operate normally by following the oper-
ating instructions. Adjust only those con-
trols that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the
TV/VCR Combination to its normal
operation.
(e) If the TV/VCR Combination has been
dropped or the cabinet has been dam-
aged.
(f) When the TV/VCR Combination exhibits
a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
18 When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replace-
ment parts specified by the manufacturer
that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
19 Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR Combination, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to deter-
mine that the television is in a safe operating
condition.
20 If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected to the television receiver, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA N0.70-1984, provides informa-
tion 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 electrode.
