INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install your "IN...

Location -- Placeyour"INwheresun-

lightor bright lightwill notfallon the

screen andaffect picture visibility.Watch

froma comfortableviewingdistance.

A entilation -- Proper ventila-

tion keeps your TV running

cool. Air circulates through

perforations or slots in the

back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not

block these vents oryou will shorten the

life of your TV.

Power Source -- Your TV is

A esigned to operate on nor-

mal household current. 120

volt 60 Hertz AC. Do not at-

tempt to operate it on DC current.

A ower Cord _ Your power

cord has a polarized plug as

required by Underwriters

Laboratories. It has one regu-

lar blade and one wide blade and fits only

one way into a standard electrical outlet.

If the blades will not enter eitherway,

your outlet is very old and non-standard.

A new outlet should be installed by a

qualified electrician.

Safe Operation -- Your TV

A smanufactured andtested

with your safety in mind.

However, unusual stress

caused by dropping ormishandling, expo-

sure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or ac-

cidental spilling of liquids into the TV can

result in potential electric shock or fire

hazards. If this happens, have your "IN

checked by a qualified service technician

before using it again. Please read and ob-

serve each safety point in the "Safety

Tips" folder when installing and using

your TV.

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 bright, fixed pattern, if

used for long periods of time, can result in

permanent imprint on the TV picture tube.

You can reduce this possibility by alternat-

ing the use of the fixed pattern display

with normal "IVviewing, by turning

down the BRIGHTNESS control for sus-

tained fixed pattern use, and by turning

offthe fixed pattern display when not in

use.

How to Install Indoor Dipole "Rabbit Ears" Antenna

Procedure Getting the Best Picture

1. Mount the antenna _] on the "IN,by

pushing it into the socket [-_ on the

back of the set.

2. Loosen the screw terminals _'] on

the antenna adaptor [_].

3. Insertthe wires from the antenna un-

der the screw terminals on the an-

tenna adaptor [_] and tighten.

4. Push the antenna adaptor[] onto

the socket on the back of the TV

[_], being careful not to bend the

center pin in the antenna adaptor.

You will obtain the best picture by turn-

ing the antenna, changing the angle be-

tween the elements, or changing their

length by pushing orpulling the elements

in or out, or any combination of these.

Usually, Vlff stations (channels 2

through 13) will be received better when

the elements are extended. Also, UHF sta-

tions (channels above 13) will be received

better when the elements are shortened.

Removing Antenna

Turn antenna about 90 degrees relative to

the TV, and pull upwards.
