WARNING ABOUT THREE-WIRE GROUNDING-TYPE PLUG:
Never remove the grounding pin on the power plug. This system is
equipped with a three-pin grounding-type power plug. This plug will
only fit a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to
replace the wall outlet.
Never defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.
Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
This may cause electric shock.
Never place the TV in an unstable location, such as on a shaky table or
incline or in a location subject to vibration.
The TV may drop or fall down, which may cause injury or damage.
Never block or cover the slots and openings in the cabinet.
• Never place the TV so that it is facing upward or on its side.
• Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase, or other similar area where
the ventilation is poor.
• Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth, or curtain on the TV.
• When installing the TV near a wall, always keep the TV at least 10 cm
away from the wall.
• Never place the TV on a soft, unstable surface, such as carpet or a
cushion.
The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes are covered,
blocked, or sealed, which may result in a fire.
Never place the TV near a heater or in direct sunlight.
The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and result in fire or
electric shock.
Check!

Remove the battery cover.
Insert two R6 (AA) batteries, matching the –/+
polarities of the battery to the –/+ marks inside the
battery compartment.
Caution:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal
area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Attention should be drawn to the environmental
aspects of battery disposal.
• Do not mix battery types or combine used
batteries with new ones.
Effective range
Note:
• If the remote control does not operate correctly,
or if the operating range becomes reduced,
replace both batteries with new ones.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not use the
remote control for a long time, remove the
batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking
into the battery compartment.
Connecting an aerial
Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor aerial must be used.
The exact type and positioning of the aerial will depend upon your particular area.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can best advise you on which aerial to use in your area.
Before connecting the aerial cable, remove the back terminal cover (see page 11).
Caution:
Never plug in the power cord until you have finished connecting the aerial.
Note:
It is recommended that the 75 Ω coaxial cable be used to eliminate interference and noise which may occur due to
radio wave conditions.
