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 Source - Your'IV 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 "IV, can
result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. If this happens, have your "IV 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 PATTERN 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, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of
time, can result in a permanent
imprint on the "IV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use
of the fixed pattern display with normal "IV picture viewing,
by turning down the CONTRAST
control for sustained
fixed pattern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern dis-
play when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV - Be sure to plug your "IV into
an "unswitched"
AC power source. The "switched" AC out-
lets found on some video equipment will not continue sup-
plying power to the "IV once the equipment is turned off. If
the power to the "IV is interrupted,
you will have to reset
the clock in the TV to the current time.
