MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CARING FOR
YOUR
TV
Your
TV
will
look better, have a longer life
and
perform
better
if
you care for it properly.
Here
is how:
Picture Glass
Cleaning-The
picture tube face attracts
dust particles
and
should
be
cleaned regularly.
To
clean
the face, first
turn
the
TV
off. 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
dishwashing·detergent has
been
mixed. Wring the cloth
almost dry. Wipe the glass face.
Make
sure no drops
of
moisture
are
squeezed onto the glass.
Do
not
wipe the
glass
dry.
Allow
the
glass to air-dry before you
turn
the
TV on again.
Cleaning the Tinted-Glass
Panel-Some
TVs have a
tinted-glass panel. Clean
the
glass panel as described
above for the Picture Glass Cleaning.
After
cleaning,
check that the glass panel mounting hardware is secure.
Each hook-shaped clip
and
locking wedge must
be
properly installed
to
prevent the glass panel from falling
out
of
its mounting.
Cabinet
Care-First
check
to
see
that
the
TV
is off.
To
clean:
a. Non-Wood Cabinets
or
Cabinet Components.
Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap solution
or
a
dishwashing detergent. 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.
b.
Wood Cabinets
or
Cabinet Components.
Use any good furniture cleaner
and
polish. Regular
care
will
help preserve the finish.
WHEN
ON
VACATION
Before going
on
vacation you may want
to
unplug the
power
cord
from the electrical wall outlet. This
will
protect the
TV
from poSStble damage from lightning
or
power lines 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
for
an
extended period
of
time, all
of
the
TV
"memory" features will have
to
be
reset.
TV
PICTURE
INTERFERENCE
Your
TV
picture may
be
affected by interference caused
by
one
or
a number
of
factors.
These
include:
Nearby
Automobile
Ignition,
Electrical
Appliances,
etc.
- Which cause a speckled, streaked picture. This
is
most noticeable in weak signal areas.
Snow
in
Picture-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
structures.
Radio Signal- Police, amateur
or
CB radio transmitters
may cause interference.
These
interference problems
can
often
be
correctred
through the use
of
a
better
antenna, signal amplifers,
or
various filter devices. See your
Antenna
Connection
Guide
or
Zenith
dealer.
