RECEPTION PROBLEMS - 42 - Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your set. Do not touch the screen too often. Do not subject the Remote Control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision parts may result. Avoid placing the Remote Control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Don't leave it on or near a heater. Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation. When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether. Replace the old batteries with fresh "AA" size batteries. Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture. RECEPTION PROBLEMS IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances. GHOSTS: Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.
