BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
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 Electrical Code (NEC) in USA
and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information 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.

If liquid has been spilled into the
set.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician certifies in
writing that he 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.
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.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the
set is in safe operating condition, and to so
certify. When the set reaches the end of its
useful life, improper disposal could result
in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.
