15.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, 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
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,provides information with respect to 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.

21. If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many
injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
● Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
● Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
● Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
● Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
● Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
● Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
