INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ve.ntilation -- 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.
A
Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.
Power
Cord -- Your power cord has a polarized
plug as required
by Underwriters'
Laboratories.
It
_as 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" section when installing and using your TV.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your "IV for
video games or if you watch channels that contiinuously show
a logo or other fixed display, avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS
conla'ol for an excessively bright picture. A fixed display is
any image which does not change frequently, such ;is a chan-
nel network/identification or other symbol that remains in the
same location for long periods of time. A brighL, fixed pattern,
if left on for long periods of time, can result in a permanent im-
print 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 pattern use, and by turning off the fixed pat-
tern display when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV .-- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched"
AC power source. The "switched"
AC out-
lets found on some video equipment will not continue supply-
ing power to the TV once the equipment is turned off. If the
power to the TV is interrupted, you will have to reset the clock
in the TV to the current time.
