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 TV has been designed and built to give you the very

best in quality, features and performance. There are thousands of Zenith authorized service centers throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effectively

to ordinary service needs. If you should have an unusual performance or service problem

that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your Zenith dealer or Zenith authorized service center, contact us at:

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install your TV... Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV

running cool. Air circulates through perforations 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.

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1000 Milwaukee Avenue Glenview, IL 60025-2493

Telephone: (708) 391-8752

Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time

Provide 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 opportu- nity 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 cabineL For your future convenience and protec- tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety Tips" folder when installing and using your TV. VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your 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 re- sult in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You can re- duce 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 display 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 supply-

ing 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.

Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual

stress caused by dropping or mishandling, expo- sure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental

spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in poten- tial electrical shock or fire hazards. If this hap- pens, have your TV checked by a service

technician before using it again.
