I

nstallation, Care, and Service

Installation

Follow these recommendations and 

precautions and heed all warnings when 

installing your TV:

19)

20) ALWAYS plug the product into an outlet 

that is located in such a manner that it 

can be easily unplugged in case the 

product requires service.

21) NEVER route the product

’s power cord

inside a wall or similar enclosed area.

22) Never modify this equipment. Changes or 

modifications may void: a) the warranty, 

and b) the user’s authority to operate this

Communications Commission.

23)

Never place the TV on an unstable

cart, stand, or table. The TV may

fall, causing serious personal 

injury, death, or serious damage to 

the TV.

recommendations and precautions:

35) If you use the TV in a room where the 

temperature is 32° F (0° C) or below, the 

picture brightness may vary until the LED 

warms up. This is not a sign of 

malfunction.

36)

 Never use chemicals (such as air 

fresheners, cleaning agents, etc.) on or 

near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that 

plastics may weaken and crack over time 

from the combined effects of chemical 

agents and mechanical stress (such as 

the weight of the TV). Failure to follow 

these instructions could result in serious 

injury and/or permanent damage to TV 

and TV pedestal.

• Always unplug the TV before cleaning. 

Gently wipe the display panel surface (the 

TV screen) using a 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.

37) Never hit, press, or place anything on the 

back cover. These actions will damage 

internal parts.

38)

Never spill liquids or push objects of any 

kind into the TV cabinet slots.

39) During a lightning storm, do not touch 

the connecting cables or product.

40) 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.

41) Always unplug the TV to completely 

disconnect from mains power. When the 

TV is turned off using the on/off switch, it 

is not completely disconnected from 

power and a minute amount of current is 

still consumed.

42) 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 Provider.

43)

Never strike the screen with a sharp or 

heavy object.

44)

 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 

screen, follow the instructions in item 36)

.

Service

45)

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 Provider.

46) 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.
