Service
1) Never repair, modify or disassemble the TV by yourself.
It may cause a fi re or an electric shock. Consult a service
technician for inspection and repair.
2) When a malfunction occurs, or if smoke or an unusual
odour comes from the TV, turn off the TV and remove the
power plug from the outlet immediately.
Make sure that the smoke or smell has disappeared, then
contact a service technician. If the TV is still used in this
condition, it may cause a fi re or an electric shock.
3) If the TV is dropped or the cabinet is broken, turn off
the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet
immediately.
If the TV is still used in this condition, it may cause a fi re
or an electric shock. If the cabinet is broken, be careful
when handling the TV to prevent an injury. Contact a
service technician for inspection and repair.
4) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualifi ed service technician to properly dispose of the
TV.
Note:
The lamp unit contains a small amount of mercury.
Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental
considerations.
Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for
your area. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities.
Use
1) Never place hot objects or open fl ame sources, such as
lighted candles or nightlights, on or close to the TV.
High temperature can melt plastic and lead to fi res.
2) The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects fi lled with liquid, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
When liquids are spilled or small items are dropped
inside the TV, this may cause a fi re or an electric shock.
If small objects drop inside the TV, turn off the TV and
remove the power plug from the outlet immediately and
contact a service technician.
3) Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water
inside the TV through ventilation holes or other
openings.
These items may cause a fi re or an electric shock.
If these objects are inserted inside the TV, turn off the TV
and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately
and contact a service technician. Be specially careful that
children do not insert objects in the TV.
4) Never stand or climb on the TV.
Be specially careful in households with children to
prevent them from climbing on top of the TV.
It may move, fall over, break, become damaged or cause
an injury.
5) When the TV will not be used for a long period of time,
such as during vacation or travel, remove the power
plug from the wall outlet for safety.
• The TV is not completely disconnected from the
power supply line, as minute current is consumed
even when the power switch is turned off.
• The mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, therefore the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
6) Never pull on the power cord when removing the plug
from the wall outlet.
Always hold the plug fi rmly when removing it. If the
power cord is yanked, the cord may become damaged
and a fi re or an electric shock may occur.

cord or apply excessive force or tension to it.
Never place heavy objects on the power cord or allow it
to overheat as this may cause damage, a fi re or an electric
shock. Contact a service technician if the power cord is
damaged.
8) If there is thunder or lightning, never touch the antenna
cable or other connected cables.
You may suffer an electric shock.
Cleaning
Avoid using chemicals (such as air refreshers, cleaning agents,
etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics
may weaken and crack over time from the combination effects of
chemical agents and mechanical stress (such as weight of TV).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
and/or permanent damage to TV and TV pedestal.
1) Remove the power plug before cleaning.
Never use solvents such as gasoline or thinner to clean the
TV.
• These solvents may distort the cabinet or damage its
fi nish.
• If rubber or vinyl products remain in contact with the
TV for a long time, a stain may result.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
When cleaning the surface of the LCD screen, wipe the
panel surface gently with a soft, dry cloth.
2) Periodically disconnect the power plug from the outlet
and check it.
If dust has collected on the power plug connectors, clean
off the dust with a dry cloth.
The dust may cause a fi re due to reduced insulation on the
plug.

Important information
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location,
it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as:
• Using stands recommended by the manufacturer of the
television.
•
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the
supporting furniture.
•
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture
and the television to a suitable support.
• Not standing the television on cloth or other materials
placed between the television and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the television or its controls.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV. In order to maintain stability and prevent it
falling over, secure the TV to the level surface using the strap
located under the table top stand, or, to a wall using a sturdy tie
to the clip on the back of the table top stand.

Getting started
Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will
generally mean that an outdoor antenna must be used. The
exact type and positioning of the antenna will depend upon
your particular area. Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel
can best advise you on which antenna to use in your area.
Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all main power
switches.
Cautions:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Batteries
must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fi re
or the like.
• Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal.
• Never mix battery types or combine used batteries with new
ones.
Notes:
• 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.
