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 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.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips"
folder when installing
and using your TV.
VIDEO
GAMES
AND OTHER
FIXED
PATTERN
DISPLAY
CAUTION
-- If you use your TV tbr
video games, teletext
or other fixed displays,
avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS
control for an excessively
bright picture. A
bright, fixed pattern,
if used for long periods
of time, can re-
sult in a permanent
imprint
on the TV picture tube. You can re-
duce 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 pattern 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.
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 techni-
cian before using it again.
