CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
TOSHIBA CARES
• Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry
are committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
• As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and
old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts,
etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
• ALWAY S follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe
installation of your television.
• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the
furniture on which the television is placed.
• NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps,
such as a chest of drawers.
• ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or
knocked down.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they
cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have
any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.
• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television
manufacturer and has a safety certication by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount
manufacturers.
• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the
television is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a
wall or ceiling mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR
HOME
• Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a
secondary room after the purchase of a at-panel television. Special care
should be made in the placement of older CRT televisions.
• ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and
appropriate for its size and weight.
• NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may
be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the
edge of your furniture.

Important notes about your 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 issues resulting from these symptoms.
1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen
if a xed, non-moving image appears 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 (does not light, remains
