HOW TO USE YOUR OPERATING
GUIDE
This operating guide describes a family of TV models. Some models have features that are not provided on other models, such as Picture-In-Picture.
Different control panels and remote controls may be used from model-to-model.
Refer to the applicable sections of this operating guide for the features and items provided with your TV.

INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your new
TV. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety Tips.
We urge you to read these publications carefully so that you will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith TV for many years to come.
Your new Zenith TV has been designed and built to give you the very best in quality, features and performance. There are many regional Zenith distributors and thousands of distributorapproved Zenith service centers throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effectively to ordinary service needs.
If you should have an unusual performance or service problem that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributorapproved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith distributor in your area, or write:
Zenith Electronics
Corporation
Customer Service Department
1000 Milwaukee Avenue
Gienview, Illinois 60025-2493
Telephone: (847) 391-8752
Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time
Send the model number, serial number, and date of purchase or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem and the service history. We will welcome the opportunity to look into your specific question or problem and to be of assistance in resolving it promptly.
The model and serial numbers of your new TV are located on the back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and protection, we suggest that you record these numbers here:
Model No.
Serial No.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV running cool. Air circulates through perforations in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not block these vents or you will shorten the life of your TV.
Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz
AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.
i;'ower Cord -- Your power cord has a polarized plug as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. It has one regular blade and one wide blade and fits only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the blades will not enter either way, your outlet is very old and nonstandard. A new outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual stress caused by dropping or mishandling, exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. If this happens, have your TV checked by a service technician before using it again.
C II WEL2A
ii
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.
FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use
your TV for video games, teletext or other fixed displays,
avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright picture. A bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of time, can result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use of the fixed pattern display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning down the CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pattern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Batteries are provided with this remote, but you must install
them before using the remote.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
When the effective operating range of your remote becomes noticeably shorter, replace the batteries with two (2) high quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries.
After installing new batteries, the remote control will set itself to Zenith brand codes, as follows: TV = 101, VCR = 201 and CABLE = 301.
If you are going to operate equipment that uses different codes, the remote must be reprogrammed for those codes.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to reset the clock to the current time.
Picture Glass Cleaning
The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.
To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashing detergent has been mixed. Wring the doth almost dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture are squeezed onto the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry.
Allow the glass to air-dry before you turn the TV on again.
Cabinet Care
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components:
Moisten a
soft cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing
detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow the TV to air-dry before turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components: Use any good fur- niture cleaner and polish. Regular care will help preserve the finish.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may want to unplug the TV from the outlet. This will protect the
TV from possible damage from lightning or power line surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may also want to disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on the back of the TV.
