MAINTENANCE
AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CARING
FOR YOUR TV
Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perform better
if you care for it properly.
First check to see that the TV is off. For added
_
afety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
NOTE:
If you unplug your TV, you will have to
reset the clock to the current time.
Picture Glass Cleaning
The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be
cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount of
glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture tube
glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.
To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashing de-
tergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the
glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture are squeezed onto
the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry. Allow the glass to air-dry
before you turn the TV on again.
Cabinet Care
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components.
Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dish-
washing detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then
rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Al-
low the TV to air-dry before turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components.
Use any good furniture cleaner and polish. Regular care will
help preserve the finish.

EXTENDED
ABSENCE
Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may
want to unplug the power cord from the electrical wall outlet.
This will protect the TVfrom 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.
NOTE:
If you unplug your TV, you will have to reset the
clock to the current time.
TV PICTURE
INTERFERENCE
Your TV picture may be affected by interference caused by
one or a number of factors. These include:
Nearby Automobile Ignition, Electrical Appliances, etc.
Which causes a speckled, streaked picture. This is most notice-
able in weak signal areas.
Snow in Picture
Caused by insufficient signal. Usually
caused by the TV being located too far from the TV station or
by an improper antenna installation.
Ghosts
or Reflections
Caused
by signals being reflected
from surrounding
buildings,
water tanks, or other high struc-
tures.
Radio Signal Police, amateur or CB radio transmitters may
cause interference.
These interference problems can often be corrected through
the use of a better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and
available TV accessories.
