INTRODUCTION

WEL C OME

Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.
This guide provides instructions on how tooperate your new

TV. in addition, we strongly advise you to read and observe
the precautions listed in the Safety Tips section of this operat-
ing guide. Read this publication carefully so that you will re-

ceive 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 many re-

gional Zenith authorized service centers throughout the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effectively

to ordinary service needs.

Ifyou should have an unusual performance orservice problem
thatcannot be satis/actorily resolved by your Zenith authorized
service center, call or write:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1000 Milwaukee Avenue

Glenview, IL 60025-2493
Telephone: [phone]

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

Send the model number, serial number, and date of purchase
or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem

and the service history. We will welcome the opportunity to
look into your specific question or problem and to be of assis-
tance in resolving it promptly.

The model and serial numbers of your new TV are located on the
back of the TV cabinet. For your futureconvenience and protec-

tion, we suggest that you recordthese numbers here:
Model No.

Serial No.

INSTALLATION CONSlDERATIONS

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

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.

A_ Power Source w Your "IV is designed to operate

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.

Do not attemptto operate it on I)(2 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 m 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. It this hap-

pens, have your TV checked by a service
technician before using it again.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" section when installing and using your TV.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED

PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your TV for

video games or other fixed displays, avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright picture. A

fixed display is any image which does not change frequently,

such as a channel/network identification or other symbol that

remains in the same location for long periods of time. A

bright, fixed pattern, if left on 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 forsustained fixed pattern use, and by

turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV m 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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR TV

Your 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 "IV from the power outlet.
NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to

reset the clock to the current time.

Cabinet Care

Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components Moisten a soft
cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing deter-

gent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse the cloth
inclean 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.

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 de-
tergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the
glass face. Make 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

Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) 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 surges. 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 be affected by interference caused by

one or a number of factors. These include:

Speckled or Streaked Picture Can be caused by nearby auto-
mobile ignition, electrical appliances, etc. This is most notice-
able in weak signal areas.

Snow in Picture Caused by insufficient signal. 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 have to reset the
clock to the current time.

Ghosts or Reflections Caused by signals being reflected
from surrounding buildings, water tanks, or other high struc-

tures.
Radio Signal Police, amateur or CB radio transmitters may

cause interference.
These interference problems can often be corrected through

the use of a better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and

available TV accessories.

YOUR ZENITH TV WARRANTY

DIRECT-VIEW COLOR TV

Welcome into the Zenith family! We believe that you will be pleased with your new Zenith Color TV. Please read this page
carefully. It is a "LIMITED WARRANTY" as defined under Federal Law. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have 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 Zenith

authorized service center when needed as a result of
manufacturing defects.

Parts -- New or remanufactured replacements for
factory-defective parts will be supplied by a Zenith authorized

service center for one year from effective warranty date (color
picture tube -- two years). Such replacement parts are warranted
for the remaining portion of the original warranty period.

Home Service -- Warranty service for 21" diagonal (U.S.A.) or
larger screen size models is provided in the home in most cases.

(Some repairs may require the unit to be taken by the servicer to

the repair facility and returned, at no additional charge.)

Not Covered -- This warranty covers manufacturing defects

and does not cover installation, adjustment of customer controls

in the home, installation or repair of home antenna systems, 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 manufacture voids this warranty in its entirety.

Owner's Responsibility

Effective Warranty Date -- Warranty begins on the date of
original consumer installation. For your convenience, keep 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 21" diagonal (U.S.A.)
