Philips PR1306C - Manual (Page 24)

• 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.

If you experience any trouble or are confused about a certain function of your television, please read through this troubleshooting
section before calling for service. These tips can save you time and money since charges for TV installation and adjustment of cus-
tomer controls are not covered under this television’s warranty.
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.
