INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation - Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perfora-
tions in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your TV.
Power Sourc= - Your TV 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 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 mishan-
dling, exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture,
or accidental spilling of liquids into the TV, can
result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. If this happens, 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 PATFERN 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, f'Lxed pattern, if used for long periods of
time, can result in a permanent imprint OVL the TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by all:ernatiug the use
of the t-Lxedpattern displ_ty vhth normal TV picture viewing,
by turning clown the CON'YRAST control for :sustained
f'L_edpattern use, and by I_.mningoff the f'wed pattern dis-
play when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV - Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The ":iwitched" AC out-
lets found on some video equipment will not continue sup-
plying power to the TV onca."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.
