Safety precautions

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.

Air Circulation

Leave more than 10 cm clearance around the TV to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent overheating and possible damage to the TV. Dusty places should also be avoided.

Heat Damage

Damage may occur if the TV is left in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity, or locations where the temperature is likely to fall below 5°C (41°F).

Mains Supply

The mains supply required for this equipment is 110 - 240 V AC 50 Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or any other power source. DO ensure that the TV is not standing on the mains lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment, this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair its performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It sh ould only be replaced by a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

DO read the operating instructions before you

attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T remove any fixed covers, as this will expose dangerous and ‘live’ parts.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DON'T place hot objects or naked flame sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit the manufacturers’ approved stand, brackets or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off by withdrawing the plug, m ake sure your fa mily kn ow how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for people with disabilities.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

ABOVE ALL - NEVER let anyone, especially children, push or hit the screen, push anything into holes, slots or any other openings in the case.

NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry.

Installation and important information

Where to install

Loca te the television away from direct s unlight and strong lights. Soft or indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.

Always place the TV on the floor or a sturdy level, stable surface that can support the weight of the unit. It must then be secured to a wall, pillar, or other immovable structure with a sturdy tie using the hooks on the rear of TV pedestal, or secured to the platform using a fixing strap located underneath the table top stand. Make sure the surface is wide enough so that the TV’s width and depth don’t exceed the surface’s edges. If not, the TV may lean or fall over and cause an injury.

Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break or damage the screen, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.

Note: A Toshiba wall bracket or stand, where available, must be used. If a non Toshiba wall bracket or stand is used the products' BEAB approval will become void and the equipment is then used at the consumers own risk.

Important notes about your LCD TV

The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction. Therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived defects resulting from these symptoms.

1. An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of time.

2. The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly (that does not light, that remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.

Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a "gun" type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

Cleaning the screen and the cabinet

After turning off the power, clean the screen and the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this may cause damage.

Disposal

The cold cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD panel contains a small amount of mercury, when the set reaches the end of its useful life please dispose of it in accordance with Local Government Regulations or at a recycling centre.

Following information is only for EU-member states:

The use of the symbol indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste.
