Child Safety
It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands
Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
a If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend,
a
and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not
always supported on the proper TV stands.
a Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,
causing unnecessary injury.
Toshiba Cares!
a The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe.
The Consumer Electronics Association
a
formed the Home Entertainment Support
Safety Committee, comprised of TV and
consumer electronics furniture
manufacturers, to advocate children’s safety
and educate consumers and their families
about television safety.
WARNING: If you decide to wall mount this television,
always use a UL-approved wall bracket appropriate for the
size and weight of this television. The use of any wall bracket
other than a UL-approved wall bracket appropriate for the
size and weight of this television for wall mounting this
television could result in serious bodily injury and/or property
damage.
Tune Into Safety
a One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large
enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic
components).
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your
a
furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).
a Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
a Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
a Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote
control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
a Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
a Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home
with your family and friends. Thank you!

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in a
position where your body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna
near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
• Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity: a) an antenna system; or b) cables,
wires, or any home theater component connected to an

Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:
28) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 ºF
(0 ºC) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the
LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
29) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Gently wipe the
display panel surface (the TV
screen) using only dry, soft cloth
(cotton, flannel, etc.). A hard
cloth may damage the surface of
the panel. Avoid contact with
alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline solvent
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths, which
may damage the surface. Never spray volatile compounds
such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such products may
damage or discolor the cabinet.
30)
WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV
cabinet slots.
31) While it is thundering, do not touch the connecting cables
or apparatus.
32) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power
surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the
antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or
unused for long periods of time.
33) During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping
or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the
unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become
frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord and contact
a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
34)
WARNING: RISK OF
SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE!
Never strike the screen with a sharp
or heavy object.
35) • The LCD screen of this product can be damaged by
ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When selecting a
location for the television, avoid locations where the
screen may be exposed to direct sunlight, such as in
front of a window.
• Never touch, press, or place anything on the LCD
screen. These actions will damage the LCD screen. If
you need to clean the LCD screen, follow the
instructions in item 29 on this page.
Service
36)
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never attempt to service the TV yourself. Opening and
removing the covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Failure to follow this WARNING
may result in death or serious injury. Refer all servicing not
specified in this manual to a Toshiba Authorized Service
Center.
37) If you have the TV serviced:
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer.
• Upon completion of service, ask the service technician
to perform routine safety checks to determine that the
TV is in safe operating condition.
38) The cold cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD panel
contains a small amount of mercury.
When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, dispose of
the used TV by the approved method for your area, or ask
a qualified service technician to properly dispose of the
TV.
Note: The lamp unit contains mercury, the
disposal of which may be regulated due to
environmental considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, contact your local authorities or the
Electronics Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
