ANTENNA INSTALLATION SAFETY

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the LCD TV, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70, provides

information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lighting

Power lines

For added protection for the LCD TV during a lightning storm, or

when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable

system. DO NOT disconnect the antenna or the power cord during

a heavy storm—lightning may strike while you are holding the

cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off the LCD TV and wait for

the weather to improve.

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 circuits as contact with them

might be fatal.
