or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization -ThisTV may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other).This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.Do not defeat

14. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard 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.
