INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation - Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perfora-
dons in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your TV.
Power Source -- Your'IV is designed to operate
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz
AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.
Power Cord - Your power cord has a
polarized plug as required by Underwriters'
Laboratories. It has one regular blade and one
wide blade and fits only one way into a standard
electrical outlet. If the blades will not enter
either way, your outer is very old and non-
standard. A new outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
Safe Operation - Your "IV is manufactured
and tested with your safety in mind.However,
unusual stress caused by dropping or mishan-
dling exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture,
or accidental spilling of liquids into the "IV, can
result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. If this happens, have your "IV checked
by a service technician before using it again.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and usiing your"IV.
FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAU'I,1ON -- If you use you
TV for video games, t(=lete.xt or other freed displays, avoid
setting
the BRIGFrFNE.SS control for an excessively brigh
picture. A bright, RxeMpattern, if m;ed for long periods of
time, can result in a p,rrmanent imprint on the TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the ust
of the: fixed pattern display with normal "IV picture viewin
by turning down the CONTRAST contTol for sustained
fixed pattern use, and by turning off the: f_ed pattern dis-
play when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV - Be sure to plug your "IV int
an "unswitche.d" A C power source. T he "switched" AC o
lets found on some video equipment will not continue su r
plying
