cord from the electrical wall outlet. This
will protect the TV from possible damage
from lightning or power line surges. If you
have an outdoor antenna, you may also want
to disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on
the back of the TV.

"IWPicture
Intorforenoo
Your TV picture may be affected by interfer-
ence caused by one or a number of factors.
These include:
Speckled or Streaked Picture
Can be
caused by nearby automobile ignition, elec-
trical appliances, etc. This is most notice-
able in weak signal areas.
Snow In Picture Caused by insufficient sig-
hal. Usually caused by the TV being located
too far from the TV station or by an im-
proper antenna installation.
Ghosts or Reflections
Caused by signals
being reflected from surrounding buildings,
water tanks, or other high structures.
Radio Signal Police, amateur or CB radio
transmitters may cause interference.
These interference problems can often be
corrected through the use of a better an-
tenna, signal'amplifiers, or various filter de-
vices. See your TV dealer for additional
information, and available TV accessories.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION m If
you use your TV for video games or other
fixed displays, avoid setting the BRIGHT-
NESS control for an excessively bright pic-
ture. A fixed display is any image which
does not change frequently, such as a chan-
nel/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 result in
a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube.
You can reduce this possibility by alternat-
ing 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 pattern display when not in use.

TV are located on the back of the TV cabi-
net. For your future convenience and protec-
tion, we suggest that you record these
