Installation, Care, and Service

Installation

Follow these recommendations and precautions and heed all
warnings when installing your TV:

17) Never modify this equipment. Changes or modifications

may void: a) the warranty, and b) the user’s authority to
operate this equipment under the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission.

18)

DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY, DEATH, OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE! 

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.

19) Never place or store the TV in direct sunlight; hot, humid

areas; or areas subject to excessive dust or vibration.

20) Always place the TV

on the floor or a sturdy,
level, stable surface
that can support the
weight of the unit. To
secure the TV, use a
sturdy tie from
the hooks on the rear
of the TV pedestal to a wall, pillar, or other immovable
structure. Make sure the tie is tight, secure, and parallel to
the floor. Leave a space of at least 4 inches around the TV.

21) Never expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing liquid

or place items such as vases, aquariums, any other item
filled with liquid, or candles on top of the TV.

22) Never block or cover the slots

or openings in the TV cabinet
back, bottom, and sides.
Never place the TV:

on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface;

too close to drapes, curtains,
or walls; or

in a confined space such as a bookcase, built-in cabinet,
or any other place with poor ventilation.

The slots and openings are provided to protect the TV
from overheating and to help maintain reliable operation
of the TV.

23) Never allow anything to rest on or roll over the power

cord, and never place the TV where the power cord is
subject to wear or abuse.

24) Never overload wall outlets and extension cords.

25) Always operate the TV with

a 120V AC, 60Hz power source
only.

26) 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).

27)

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 TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

28) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 ºF (0 ºC)

or below, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD
warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.

29) Always unplug the TV before

cleaning. Wipe the display
panel surface gently using only
a 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. Do not splay volatile compounds
such as insecticide on the cabinet. This may cause a
discoloration or damage the cabinet.

30)

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
