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.

not expressly approved by Toshiba could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.
Wireless Radio
For products available in the USA/Canada market,
only channel 1–11 can be operated. Selection of other
channels is not possible. The device can automatically
discontinue transmission in case of absence of information
to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not
intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling
information or the use of repetitive codes where required
by the technology. If this device is going to be operated in
5.15–5.25 GHz frequency range, then it is restricted to an
indoor environment only.
Important: Any changes or modications not

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
constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of
LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and
is not covered under your warranty. Such pixels
are not visible when the picture is viewed from a
normal viewing distance.
