Caution
Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a Cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance. However, if you are
located in a strong signal area that is free from interference and ghost conditions (multipath),
an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture
screen.
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back
cover of the set.
NOTES
Never remove the back cover of the set. This can expose you to very high voltage and other
hazards.
If the set does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer or service shop.
VIEWING
This color TV may be viewed from any desired distance. Most viewers prefer a distance of
three to six feet or more depending on screen size for maximum eye comfort.
