WARNING: If you decide to wall mount this television, always use a mounting bracket that has been Listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL) and is appropriate for the size and weight of this television. The use of inappropriate or non-Listed mounting brackets could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. See “To Display your LED TV using a Wall Bracket:” on page 5.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional antenna grounding information, see items 33) and 34) on page 4.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat

Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

•The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

•Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

•One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

•Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

•Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

•Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such

as a chest of drawers.

•Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be

pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

•Care should be taken to route all cords and

cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your flat panel display, always:

•Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

•Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.

•Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

•A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Safety Precautions for 3D glasses

About handling the 3D glasses

•Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the 3D glasses by yourself. Doing so may cause you to become indisposed while viewing 3D images.

CAUTION:

About the 3D glasses

•Carefully read instructions provided with your display and/or 3D glasses before 3D viewing.

•Do not use the 3D glasses if they are cracked, broken, or not working properly.

Continuing to use them in such a state may cause injury, eye strain, or indisposition.

•Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D glasses. Doing so may damage the glass section which may result in injury. Exposing the 3D glasses to liquid or excessive heat may damage the function.

•Do not stand or walk while wearing 3D glasses.

You may lose your balance which could result in falls or other accidents.

•Do not wear the 3D glasses for any purpose other than viewing 3D programming.

3D glasses do not function as sunglasses.

•If your nose or temple turns red, or you feel any pain or discomfort, stop using the 3D glasses.

Such symptoms may occur when wearing 3D glasses for long periods of time.

Cautions on watching the 3D images

•Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout when exposed to certain flashing images or lights contained in certain 3D television pictures or video games.

Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of epilepsy, should contact a health care professional before using the 3D function.

•Avoid using the 3D function when under the influence of alcohol.

•Some individuals may experience health-related complications when exposed to certain 3D images.

Parents should monitor and/or supervise their children's use of this 3D technology. If you or your child should experience any problem, immediately stop using this 3D technology and consult a physician.

•If you are ill or feel ill, you should refrain from viewing 3D images, and consult your health care provider as may be appropriate.

•If you experience any of the following symptoms when viewing 3D video images, stop viewing and contact your health care provider:

Convulsions, Eye or muscle twitching, Loss of awareness, Altered vision, Involuntary movements, Disorientation, Eye Strain, Nausea/Vomiting, Dizziness, Headaches, Fatigue.

•If you feel eye fatigue or other discomfort from viewing 3D video images, stop viewing and take a rest until the condition improves.

•Viewing in 3D may cause dizziness and/or disorientation for some viewers.

Therefore, to avoid injury do not place your TV near open stairwells, balconies, or wires.

Also do not sit near objects that could be broken if accidentally hit.

•When viewing 3D images, always wear 3D glasses.

Watching 3D images without specified 3D glasses may cause eye strain.

•Do not wear 3D glasses or watch 3D images from steep angles or while lying down.

The 3D effect is lost in these conditions and eye strain may result.

•It is recommended that the viewer’s eyes and 3D glasses are level with the screen.

•If you have prescription eye glasses or contact lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them.

Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear may cause eye strain.

•If 3D images often appear doubled or if you cannot see the images in 3D, stop viewing.

Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.

•Due to the possible impact on vision development, viewers of 3D video images should be age 6 or above.

7

Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised to avoid prolonged viewing without rest.

•Watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may cause eye strain.

•For optimal 3D effect and to avoid eye fatigue it is important that you properly select your viewing position.

The best viewing position is at the indicated viewing distance with your eyes at the same level as the center of the display as shown below. The center of the optimum viewing area varies from set to set. The usable viewing area is generally over the range shown in the table below (actual angle not depicted in drawing).

		Same height as
		Center of Display
	Center of Display
	Viewing Angle
	Viewing Distance
Model	Viewing angle	Viewing distance
42L6200U	Approx. 20 degrees	Over 62 inches
47L6200U	Approx. 20 degrees	Over 69 inches
55L6200U	Approx. 20 degrees	Over 81 inches
47L7200U	Approx. 26 degrees	Over 69 inches
55L7200U	Approx. 26 degrees	Over 81 inches

Important: If you see a double image, your eyes are either too high or too low in relation to the horizontal center of the screen. Adjust your position so that it is closer to the center to avoid eye fatigue and to enjoy optimum 3D effects.
