WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER

SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the pres­ence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accom­panying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

POWER CORD POLARIZATION:

This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type alternating current line plug. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the three-wire
ground type plug.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable
entry as practical.

REGULATORY INFORMATION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (U.S.A.),
ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc­ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca­tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) dur­ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec­tric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an out­side antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dan­gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service

servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by fol­lowing the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instruc­tions as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require exten­sive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in per­formance.

21. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts spec­ified by the manufacturer or have the same charac­teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu­tions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

Macintosh Environment

Setting your computer for optimum picture output in the Macintosh operat­ing system environment

MACINTOSH Environment

The following is a step-by-step procedure for set­ting your computer picture output to optimum dis­play quality.

1. Plug your computer in to the Presentation TV.
Turn on the TV and then the COMPUTER.

2. Open your CONTROL PANEL by choosing under
the APPLE icon or by clicking on your HARD
DRIVE icon. If you choose the HARD DRIVE
icon, you’ll have to open your CONTROL PANEL
through the SYSTEMS FOLDER.

3. Once you have located the CONTROL PANEL,
click on VIEWS. This is where you will make
changes for Presentation display.

4. Change the FONT to one that is appears well on
a television. We would suggest that you use
TIMES BOLD. Now, change the FONT SIZE to 18
or better.

Each time that you use the TV with your com­puter, you will simply change the FONT and
SIZE through the CONTROL PANEL and VIEW. You
have now changed the appearance of all your
folders but NOT your applications.

VIEWING FOR PRESENTATION vs. PRIVATE

1. When viewing an application, such as EXCEL or
WORD, you will have to change the appearance
of each application.

2. Once the application has been opened, just
change the view from 100 percent to a selec­tion over 150 percent. This will not permanent­ly effect your document. Once you have com­pleted your presentation, simply reduce the size
back down to 100 percent viewing ratio.

3. To enlarge the ICONS of the application, click on
VIEW and then select TOOLBARS. Slide down
and highlight CUSTOMIZE with your mouse, then
click.

4. A file folder will now “pop-up”. Now selection
OPTIONS and then click on LARGE ICONS. This
will only enlarge the ICONS on your menu
palette. Due to a less flexible platform, you
will not be able to effect the fonts/size on the
Menu Bar.

This Zenith TV is a high quality, low cost alterna­tive to a true SVGA monitor.
