ASTAR ASTAR 27''HDTV - Manual (Page 3)

Note: In some countries or regions, the shape of the power plug and power outlet may sometimes differ
from that shown in the explanatory drawings. However, the method of connecting and operating the unit
is the same.
If an outside antenna/satellite or cable system is to be connected to the LCD TV, make sure that the
antenna/satellite or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and static charges.
For added protection of your LCD TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for
long periods of time, unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna/satellite or cable
system.
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines
or circuits.
