Zenith System 3 - First Things First

FIRST THINGS FIRST
LOCATION
Put your TV set where sunlight or bright light will not fall
directly on the screen. Allow a comfortable viewing
distance, usually six feet or more.
ANTENNAS
To get the best color picture, you must have a good
antenna system. See pages 11 and 12 on antennas.
VENTILATION
Proper ventilation helps keep your set running cool. On
the back and bottom of every set, there are slots, ora
perforated screen, which permit a flow of air to the set.
DO NOT ENCLOSE THE CABINET OR OTHERWISE
OBSTRUCT VENTILATION AT THE BACK OR BOTTOM.
POWER
Your set is designed to operate on 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR SET ON DC.
The power cord of your TV set has a polarized plug as
required by Underwriters’ Laboratories. This plug has one
regular blade and one wide blade. It will fit only one way
into the standard electrical outlet. If the blades will not
enter your outlet, try reversing the plug. If the blades will
not enter either way, your outlet is probably many years
old and is non-standard. In that event, a new outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING :
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TV SET TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
NEVER OPERATE THE SET IF LIQUID HAS
ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED INTO IT. If this happens, have
your set checked by a service technician before using it
again. Fire or electric shock could result. For additional
points on safe operation of your set, see the Safety
Tips folder.
VIDEO GAMES
CAUTION: If you use your TV set to play video games,
avoid setting the PICTURE CONTROL (brightness) for an
excessively bright game display. The reason for this is
that a bright, fixed pattern such as “tennis court’ lines, if
used for long periods of time, can imprint the pattern
permanently on the TV picture tube. You can reduce this
possibility by alternating use of the game with normal TV
viewing, by turning the brightness down when playing
video games, and by turning off the game promptly
after using it.
WHEN ON VACATION
When you are going away on vacation, or don’t plan to
use your Set for a long time, we suggest you unplug your |
set from the wall outlet. If your set is connected to an
outdoor antenna, we also suggest you disconnect the
lead-in wires at the back of your set.
