MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CARING FOR YOUR TV
Your TV
will
look better, have a longer life and perform
better if you care for it properly. Here is how:
Picture Glass Cleaning-The picture tube face attracts
dust particles and should be cleaned regularly. To clean
the face, first turn the TV off. Spray a small amount of
glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture
tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.
To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in
lukewarm water in which a little fabric softener or
dishwashing·detergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth
almost dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of
moisture are squeezed onto the glass. Do not wipe the
glass
dry.
Allow the glass to air-dry before you turn the
TV on again.
Cleaning the Tinted-Glass Panel-Some TVs have a
tinted-glass panel. Clean the glass panel as described
above for the Picture Glass Cleaning. After cleaning,
check that the glass panel mounting hardware is secure.
Each hook-shaped clip and locking wedge must be
properly installed to prevent the glass panel from falling
out of its mounting.
Cabinet Care-First check to see that the TV is off. To
clean:
a. Non-Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components.
Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap solution or a
dishwashing detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp
cloth. Then rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe
the surface again. Allow the TV to air-dry before
turning it on.
b. Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components.
Use any good furniture cleaner and polish. Regular
care
will
help preserve the finish.
WHEN ON VACATION
Before going on vacation you may want to unplug the
power cord from the electrical wall outlet. This
will
protect the TV from poSStble damage from lightning or
power lines surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you
may also want to disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on
the back of the TV.
NOTE: If you unplug your TV for an extended period of
time, all of the TV "memory" features
will have to be reset.
TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Your TV picture may be affected by interference caused
by one or a number of factors. These include:
Nearby Automobile Ignition, Electrical Appliances,
etc. -
Which cause a speckled, streaked picture. This is
most noticeable in weak signal areas.
Snow in Picture-
Caused by insufficient signal. Usually
caused by the TV being located too far from the TV
station or by an improper antenna installation.
Ghosts or Reflections-
Caused by signals being reflected
from surrounding buildings, water tanks, or other high
structures.
Radio Signal-
Police, amateur or CB radio transmitters
may cause interference.
These interference problems can often be correctred
through the use of a better antenna, signal amplifers, or
various filter devices. See your Antenna Connection
Guide or Zenith dealer.
