24) Always make sure the antenna system is properly 

grounded to provide adequate protection against 

voltage surges and built-up static charges (see 

Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

25) 

DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS 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 antenna or 

phone system.

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TV, 

follow these recommendations and precautions:

26) If you use the TV in a room with a temperature of 0°C 

or less, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD 

TV warms up. This is not a sign of a malfunction.

27) Always unplug the TV before 

cleaning. Clean only with a dry 

cloth.

Never use liquid or aerosol 

cleaners.

28) When dust has collected on the 

power plug, remove the plug and 

clean off the dust.

Do not pull the power cord to 

remove the plug.

Do not touch the power plug 

with a wet hand.

29) 

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind 

into the TV cabinet slots.

30) If you place the TV facing the sun, the LCD screen will 

be damaged. Be careful about this when locating the 

TV in places such as in front of a window or outside 

the room.

31) The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) may cause 

interference with the images, sound, etc. of other 

electronic equipment that is sensitive to 

electromagnetic waves (for example, AM radios and 

video equipment) under certain installation conditions. 

In particular, it may affect the electronic equipment 

near the residential unit where the LCD TV is used.

Antenna lead-in wire

Antenna discharge unit 

(NEC Section 810-20)

Grounding conductors 

(NEC Section 810-21)

Power service grounding electrode 

system (NEC Art 250 Part H)

Ground clamp

Electric service equipment

Ground clamps

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) 

The screen on this TV is 

manufactured from glass.
To prevent damage, never 

strike the glass with a sharp or 

heavy object.

35) The liquid crystal display on this TV is manufactured 

using an extremely high level of precision technology; 

however, an occasional pixel (dot of light) may display 

constantly on the screen. 

This is a structural property of LCD technology and is 

not a sign of malfunction.

Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed 

from a normal viewing distance.

Note: 

Interactive video games that involve shooting a 

“gun” type of joystick at on-screen target may not work 

on this TV.

Service

36) 

WARNING: 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. Refer all 

servicing 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) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a 

qualified service technician to properly dispose of the 

TV. Improper disposal may result in a picture tube 

implosion and possible personal injury.
