CARING FOR YOUR "iV
You]: 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
safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
Note: If you unplug your TV, you may have to re-
set the clock to the current time.
Cabinet Care

Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe the surface
with a damp cloth, then rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe
the s.urface again. Allow 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.
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 cloth and wipe the glass face until clean.
Repeat if necessary.
To prevent dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water mixed with a little fabric softener or a mild soap
solution. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the glass face.
MaI:e 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.
EXTENDED ABSENCE

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

to the current time.

ances, etc. Most noticeable in weak signal areas.

located too far from the 'IV staticn or by improper antenna
installation.

water tanks, or other high structures.

quently, such as a channel/network identification or other sym-
bol 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 alternating the use of the fixed pat-
tern display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning down
the Contrastcontrol for sustained fixed pattern use, and by turning
offthe fLxedpattern display when not in use.
