MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING _
Caring For Your I"V
YourTV willlookbetter,havea longerlife
and perform be_tterif you care for itproperly.
First check to see that the "IV is off. For
added safety, unplug theTV fromthe power
outlet.
Note: If you unplug yore"TV, you will
have to reset the clock to the currenttime.
' ' Picture Glass Cleaning
. he picture tube face attracts
dust particles and should be
.cleaned regularly. To clean
the face, spray a small amount
of glass €:leaner 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 dishwashing detergent has been mixed.
Wring theclothalmostdry.Wipe theglass
face.Make surenodropsofmoistureare
squeezed onto.the glass. Do not wipe the
glass dry.Allow the glass to air-drybefore
you turn theTV on again.
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Compo-
nents Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap
solution or'mild dishwashing detergent.
Wipe the surfacewithadamp cloth.Then
rinse the cloth.in clean water and wipe the
surface again. Allow the TV to air-dry be-
fore turning iton.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components
Use any gooc] furniture cleaner and polish.
Regular care willhelpprese4"vethe finish.
Extended Absonoo,
Before an extended ab.sence (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 currenttime.
"IWPicture Intorforenoo
Your TV picture may be affected by interfer-
ence caused by one or a number of factors.
These include:
Speckled or Streaked Picture Can 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-
hal. 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 m If
you use your TV for video games or other
fixed displays, avoid setting the BRIGHT-
NESS control for an excessively bright pic-
ture. A fixed display is any image which
does not change frequently, such as a chan-
nel/network identification or other symbol
thatremains in the same location for long
periods of time. A bright, fixed pattern, if
left on for long periods of time, can result 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
