INTRODUCTION

WELCOME

Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.

q-his guide provides instructions on how to operate your new

"I_. 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.

I[ 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:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1000 N. Milwaukee Avenue

Glenview, IL 60025

Telephone: (312) 745-5152

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 cabinet. For your future convenience .and protec-

tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

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.

_[k 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.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety

Tips" folder when installing and using your"TV.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTIJI?,R FIXED

PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your TV for

video games, teletext or other fixed displays, _void 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 robe. 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 "unswitchc_" AC power sc,urce. 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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR "IV

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.

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

in clean 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 almo:_t dry. Wipe tile

glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture are squeezed onto

the glass. Do not wipe the glas,'; dry. Allow the gl_ss 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.

NOTE: If you unplug your T'U, you will have to reset the

clock to the current time.

"IV 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 Pi_:ture Caused by insufficient signal. Usually

caused by the TV being located too far from the TV station or

by an improper antenna installation.

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 transxnitters may

cause interference.

These interference problems can often be cotxected through

the use of a better antenna, si_,,nal amplifiers, or various filler

devices. See your "IV dealer f_r additional information, and

available "IV accessories.
