READ AND RETAIN this owner's manual and the safety tips pamphlet included with this

television.

CABLE COMPATIBLE

Cable reception is only available to customers subscribing to cable service. Cable-

compatible models will tune in most nonscrambled cable channels without the need for
an external converter box. Scrambled pay-TV services may require an additional

descrambling box. Check with your local cable company for compatibility and any
additional requirements.

UNPACKING AND POSITIONING

Carefully remove the television from its shipping carton and save the carton until you
are sure that the television has not been damaged. Report any damage to the store
from which it was purchased.

In addition to the television and owner's manual, you should find the following items in
the shipping carton:

• Safety "13psPamphlet • Remote Control Transmitter

• Antenna Adapter

Position your television where direct light from lamps or windows does not fall on the
screen. Soft, indirect room lighting is best. Viewing in a room that is too bright or too
dark can cause eye strain. A comfortable viewing distance, usually six feet or more, is

recommended.

• Do not place your television too close to the wall or in a confined area. The electronic
parts need normal air circulation for reliable long life.

CONNECTING THE POWER

Plug the power cord into a convenient wall outlet that has standard house power (120
volts AC, 60 Hz). As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider than the other. It will

fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, try

turning it around. If the plug will not fit either way, the outlet is probably old and
nonstandard. In that event, a new outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Do not defeat the safety feature of the plug.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

The best possible picture on this television receiver depends to a great degree upon an
antenna that delivers the signal to your "iV. The properly installed outdoor IV antenna

assures you of the best possible picture in your reception area.
Your local Sears store can inform you of the best outdoor antenna for your area. If you

intend to use a previously installed outdoor antenna, Sears strongly urges that you either
inspect your antenna or have it inspected for the weathering effects of wind, snow, ice
and corrosion that greatly reduce the efficiency of the antenna and lead in cable.

INDOOR ANTENNA

1. Insert the Rod antenna into the hole located on the upper side of the set.
Connect the 300 ohm flat wire to the 300 to 75 ohm antenna adaptor.

2. Connect the 300 to 75 ohm adaptor to the antenna terminal.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
Using a Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with a 75 ohm Lead-in Cable

• Connect the lead-in cable directly to the antenna terminal on the back of the -IV.
