within an equilateral trian-
gle is intended to alert the

instructions in the litera-
ture accompanying the

are sure that the television has not been damaged. Report any damage to the store
from which it was purchased.
In addition to the television and owner's manual, you should find the following items in
the shipping carton:
• SafetyTips Pamphlet • Remote Control Transmitter
• Antenna Adapter • Rod Antenna
Position your television where direct light from lamps or windows does not fall on the
screen. Soft, indirect room lighting is best. Viewing in a room that is too bright or too
dark can cause eye strain. A comfortable viewing distance, usually six feet or more, is
recommended.
Do not place your television too close to the wall or in a confined area. The electronic
parts need normal air circulation for reliable long life.
Plug th_ puwul (,old into a coJivur_lerlt wall outlet thaL has _tal_dard huu_e IJUWt;I (120
volts AC, 60 Hz). As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider than the other. It will
fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, try
turning it around. If the plug will not fit either way, the outlet is probably old and
nonstandard. In that event, a new outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not defeat the safety feature of the plug.
