HOW TO USE YOUR OPERATING GUIDE

This operating guide describes a family of TV models. Some models have features that are not
provided on other models. Different control panels and remote controls may be used from model-to-

model. Refer to the applicable sections of this operating guide for the features and items provided

with your TV.

WELCOME

INTRODUCTION

Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your
new TV. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety
Tips. We urge you to read these publications carefully so
that you will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith
TV for many years to come.

Your new Zenith TV has been designed and built to give
you the very best in quality, features and performance.
There are many regional Zenith distributors and thousands
of distributor-approved Zenith service centers throughout
the U.S. and Canada who can attend promptly and effective-
ly to ordinary service needs.

If you should have an unusual performance or service problem
that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributor-
approved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith
distributor in your area, or write:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1900 N. Austin Avenue

Chicago, Illinois 60639-5079
Telephone: [phone]
Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time

Send the model number, serial number, and date of pur-
chase or original installation, with a full explanation of the
problem and the service history. We will welcome the op-
portunity to look into your specific question or problem and
to be of assistance in resolving it promptly.

The model and serial numbers of your new TV are located on
the back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and
protection, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

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 TV 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 TV, can

result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. If this happens, have your TV 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 PATI'ERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use yore

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 TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use

of the fixed pattern display with normal TV 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 TV into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC out-
lets found on some video equipment will not continue sup-
plying power to the TV once the equipment is turned off. If
the power to the TV is interrupted, you will have to reset
the clock in the TV to the current time.

Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perform
better if you care for it properly.

safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
First check to see that the TV is off. For added
NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to

reset the clock to the current time.

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 cleaning cloth and wipe the picture
tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.

To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in
lukewarm water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory

dishwashing detergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth al-
most dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of mois-
ture are squeezed onto the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry.
Allow the glass to air-dry before you turn the TV on again.

Cabinet Care
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components: Moisten a

soft cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing

detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse
the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow
the TV to air-dry before turning it on.

Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components: Use any good fur-

niture cleaner and polish. Regular care will help preserve
the finish.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may
want to unplug the TV from the outlet. This will protect the
TV from possible damage from lightning or power line sur-
ges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may also want to

disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on the back of the TV.

TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your TV picture may bc affected by interference caused by
one or a number of factors.

Nearby Automobile Ignition, Electrical Appliances:

Produces a speckled, streaked picture, most noticeable in
weak signal areas.

Snow in Picture: Caused by weak signal being received.

Usually caused by the TV being located too far from the
TV station or by an improper antenna installation.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will havc to rcsct thc

clock to the current time.

Ghosts or Reflections: Causcd by signals bcing rcllcctcd
from surrounding buildings, water tanks, or other high struc-

tures.
Radio Signal: Rolling picture, herringbone pattern or torn

picture caused by police, amateur or CB radio transmitters.
These interference problems can often be corrected

through the use of a better antenna, signal amplifier, or

various filter devices. See your TV dealer for additional in-

formation, and for available TV accessories.

YOUR ZENITH WARRANTY

Consumer Protection Plat= ior Lenith TV

Welcome into the Zenith family! We believe that you will be
pleased with your new Zenith Color TV. Please read this

Consumer Protection Plan carefully. It is a "LIMITED

other rights that vary from state to state within the U.S.A.

Zenith's Responsibility

Service Labor - During a period of 90 days from effective
warranty date, Zenith will pay for service labor by a U.S. or

Canadian distributor-approved Zenith service center when

needed as a result of manufacturing defects.

Parts - New or remanufactured replacements for factory-

defective parts will be supplied by a U.S. or Canadian

distributor-approved service center for one year from effective

warranty date (color picture tube - two years). Such replace-

ment parts are warranted for the remaining portion of the

original warranty period.

Home Service - Warranty service for 19" diagonal

(U.S.A.) or larger screen size models is provided in the

home.

Not Covered - This warranty covers manufacturing defects

and does not cover installation, adjustment of customer con-

trois in the home, installation or repair of home antenna sys-

tems, cable converters or cable company-supplied

equipment; it also does not cover damage due to misuse,

abuse, negligence, acts of God or other causes beyond the
control of Zenith. Any alteration of the product after
manuf_icture voids this warranty in its entirety.

Owner's Responsibility
Effective Warranty Date - Warx a,ty begm_ o, th_ datt: ol

the dealers dated bill of sale or delivery ticket as evidence

of the purchase date.
Operating Guide - Read your Operating Guide carefully

so that you will understand the operation of your set and
how to adjust the customer controls.

Carry-In Service - Models under 19" diagonal (U.S.A.)
screen size must be taken to a distributor-approved Zenith

service center for warranty service and must be picked up

by the owner.
Antenna - Reception problems caused by inadequate

home antennas or faulty antenna connections are the
owner's responsibility.

Important: Product Registration - Please fill out and mail
your Product Registration Card. It is imperative that Zenith
know how to reach you promptly if we should discover a

safety problem that could affect you.
Warranty Service - For warranty service information, con-

tact your Zenith dealer preferably, or any distributor-
approved Zenith service center. Parts and service labor that
are Zenith's responsibility (see above) will be provided
without charge. Other service is at the owner's expense. If

vice, write:
