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 hou,;ehold 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 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 TV for
video games or other fixed displays,
avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS
control for an excesdvely
bright picture.
A
fixed display is any image which does not change fiequently,
such as a channel/network
identification
or other symbol
that
remains in the same location for long periods
of time.
A
bright, fixed pattern,
if left on for long periods
of time, can re-
sult in a permanent
imprint
on the TV picture tube. You can
reduce this possibility
by alternating
the use of 1:hefixed pat-
tern display with normal TV picture
viewing,
by turning
down
the CONTRAST
control for sustained
fixed pattern use, and
by turning off the fixed pattern display
when nc,t 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 tc reset the
clock in the TV to the current time.
