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.

a The home theater entertainment experience is a growing

trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

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 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.

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).

a Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to

secure your 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. 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!

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the remote control batteries:

1 Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.

2 Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and

– symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

3 Slide the battery cover on to the remote control until the

lock snaps.

Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note:

• Be sure to use AA size alkaline batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with the

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

• Always remove the batteries from the remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Remote control effective range

For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at the TV remote sensor. Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

Point remote control toward remote sensor on front of TV.
