IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the unit is operated.
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet, Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug,
your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug (a plug having a third grounding pin). This plug will
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.

THE CAUSES OF INTERFERENCE
Incorporated in your TV set is the most up-to-date technology to eliminate
interference. Local radiation however, can create disturbances which in turn, can
noticeably affect the picture. Proper installation and a good antenna are your best
safeguards against these disturbances.
Interference
Moving ripples across the screen are caused by nearby transmitting or receiving shortwave radio
equipment.
Diathermy
Herringbone pattern and partial picture loss can result from the operation of diathermy equipment
from a nearby medical center or hospital.
Snow
Weak TV signals from long distant stations result in an unsteady picture and give the effect of
falling snow. An antenna adjustment or antenna amplifier may be needed.
Ghost
Multiple images caused by TV signals reflected back from surrounding buildings, hills, aircraft, etc.
are minimized by proper antenna positioning.
Car Ignition
Nearby cars and electrical motors can cause small streaks across the picture or make the picture
roll.
