Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your new
TV. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety Tips.
We urge you to read these publications carefully so that you
will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith TV for
many years to come.
Your new Zenith TV has been designed and built to give you
the very best in quality, features and performance. There are
many regional Zenith distributors and thousands of distributor-
approved Zenith service centers throughout the U.S., Canada
and Mexico who can attend promptly and effectively to ordi-
nary service needs.
If you should have an unusual performance or service problem
that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributor-
approved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith dis-
tributor in your area, or write:

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perforations
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 TV is designed to operate
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz
AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.
i;'ower 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 outlet is
very old and non-
standard. A new outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and
tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual
stress caused by dropping or mishandling, expo-
sure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental
spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in poten-
tial electrical shock or fire hazards. If this hap-
pens, have your TV checked by a service
technician before using it again.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.
FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use
your TV for video games, teletext or other fixed displays,
avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively
bright picture. A bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods
of time, can result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use of
the fixed pattern display with normal TV picture viewing, by
turning down the CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pat-
tern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern display when not
in use.
