reports, etc. can become permanently engrained on the
picture tube. This damage is not protected by your

use your TOSHIBA Television to display still images, it
is always advisable to reduce brightness and contrast
settings. Never leave a computer or video game display
unattended.

Installing Your TV Set
Where to install
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform.
The mounting surface should be flat and steady.
Lighting
Do not place the TV in a room where direct lighting
strikes the screen. Use soft and indirect lighting.
Air circulation
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow
proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from
overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV.
Avoid dusty places too.
Power supply
Plug into an electrical outlet with standard household
power (120 volt AC, 60Hz). Do not change the
plug’s safety prong. See the right column.

WARNING : TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
●
Do not stand or climb on the TV.
●
Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of
the TV.
CAUTION :
As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider
than the other. It will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the
outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit
either way, the outlet is probably old and non-standard.
You will need to have a new outlet installed by an
electrician.
DO NOT CHANGE THE SAFETY FEATURE OF
THE PLUG.
