INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install your "IN...

Location -- Placeyour"INwheresun-

lightor bright lightwill notfallon the

screen andaffect picture visibility.Watch

fromacomfortableviewingdistance.

Aentilation -- 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

Aesigned to operate on nor-

mal household current. 120

volt 60 Hertz AC. Do not at-

tempt to operate it on DC current.

Aower 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 astandard 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.

Safe Operation -- Your TV

Asmanufactured 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 aqualified 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.

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

3. Insertthe wires from the antenna un-

der the screw terminals on the an-

tenna adaptor[_] and tighten.

4. Push the antenna adaptor[] onto

tions (channels above 13) will be received

better when the elements are shortened.
