MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
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 Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components 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
Befi)re an extended absence (such as avacation) you may want 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.
Note: If you unplug your TV, you may have to reset the clock to the current time.
TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Your TV picture may be affected by interference such as: Speckled or Streaked Picture Can be caused by nearb) automobile ignition, eleclxical appli-
ances, etc. Most noticeable in weak signal areas. Snow in Picture
Caused by insufficient signal. Usaa ly caused by the TV being located too far from the 'IV staticn or by improper antenna
installation.
Ghosts or Reflections
Caused by signals being reflected fiom surrounding buildings,
water tanks, or other high structures.
Radio Signal Caused by police, amateur, or CB :raciotransmitters. These interference problems can often be corrected by using a
better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter devices. See
your TV dealer for additional information and available TV
accessories.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION
If you use your TV for video game:; or other fixed displays,
avoid setting the Brightness control for an excessively bright picture. A fixed display is any image that doesn't change fre- 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.
RECORD MODEL NUMBER OF YOUR TV
The model and serial nmnbers ofyottr new TV are located on the back of the TV cabinet. For your tuture convenience and protec- tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:
