safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
Note: If you unplug your TV, you may have to re-

set the clock to the current time.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may want
to unplug tl_: power cord from the electrical wall outlet. This
will protect the "IV from poss_le damage from lightning or
power line sqtrges. 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 may have to reset the clock
to the current time.

TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your'IV picture may be _Tected by interference such as:
Speckled or Streaked Piety:re

Can be caus_t by nearby aulomobile ignition, electrical appli-

ances, etc. Most noticeable ia weak signal areas.

Snow in Picture
Caused by insufficient signal. Usually cau_ by the TV being

located too far from the TV ,_;tationorby improper antenna
installation.

Ghosts or Reflections
Caused by signals being reflected from surrounding buildings,

water tanks, or other high structures.
Radio Signal

Causedby police, amateur,or CB radiotransmitters.

These interference probletas can often be corrected by using a

better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various fdter devices. See
your TV de_der for additiotml information and available TV

accessories.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED

PATTERN DISPLA Y CA UTK)N

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 that doesn't change fre-
quently, such as a channel/network identifi_ition or other sym-
bol that remains in the same location for long periods of time. A
bright, fixed pattern, if left ort for long periods of time, can re-

sult in a permanent imprin! on the TV pictme 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.
