CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug ?

Check the TUNING ANTENNA/CABLE control for correct position.

Check the VOLUME buttons.

Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.

Check batteries. Replace with AAA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary.

Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Care

To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.
