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 TV from the power
outlet.
Note: If you unplug your TV, you will
have to reset the clock to the current time.
Picture Glass Cleaning
_k he 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 accu-
mulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water in which a little fabric softener or
mild disKwashing detergent 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.
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Compo-
nents Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap
solution or mild 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 be-
fore turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components
Use any good furniturecleaner and polish.
Regular care will help preserve the finish.
Extended Absence
Before artextended absence (such as a vaca-
tion) 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.
Note: If you unplug your TV, you will
have to reset the clock to the current time.
TV Picture Interference
Your TV picture may be affected by interfer-
ence caused by one or a number of factors.
These include:
Speckled or Streaked Picture (;an be
caused by nearby automobile ignition, elec-
trical appliances, etc. This is most notice-
able in weak signal areas.
Snow in Picture Caused by insufficient sig-
nal. Usually caused by the TV being located
too far from the TV station or by an im-
proper antenna installation.
Ghosts or Reflections Caused by signals
being reflected from surrounding buildings,
water tanks, or other high structures.
Radio Signal Police, amateur or CB radio
transmitters may cause interference.
These interference problems can often be
corrected through the use of a better an-
tenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter de-
vices. See your TV dealer for additional
information, and available TV accessories.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If
you use your TV for video games or other
fixed displays, avoid setting the BRIGHT-
NESS control for anexcessively bright pic-
ture. A fixed display is any image which
does not change frequently, such as a chan-
nel/network identification or other symbol
that remains in the same !ocation for long
periods of time. A bright, fixed pattern, if
left on for long periods of time, c_mresult in
a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube.
You can reduce this possibility by alternat-
ing 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 ase.
Record Model Number of Your TV
The model and serial numbers of your new
TV are located on the back of the TV cabi-
net. For your future convenience and protec-
tion, we suggest that you record these
numbers here:
Model No.
Serial No.
