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 that outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.

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

Check the TUNER control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting.

Check the VOLUME buttons.

Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

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

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.

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.

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