Important Information

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the 
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to 
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE 
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.

The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that 
important operating and maintenance instructions 
follow this symbol.

CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.

ATTENTION

POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ÊTRE INSÉRÉS À FOND SANS EN LAISSER
AUCUNE PARTIE À DÉCOUVERT.

CAUTION

The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only
one way into a standard electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz).
If the plug does not fit into
the outlet, try turning it
around. If the plug still does
not fit, the outlet is probably
non-standard and must be
replaced by a qualified
electrician. Do not tamper
with the plug or try to force it into a non-standard outlet.

Note to CATV system installers in the USA

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding, and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

Precautions

Installing your TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The

mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install
the TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not
damaged by the weight of the TV.

• This TV set may be used only with Toshiba stand listed on

page 32. Use with other stands may result in instability,
causing possible injury.

• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow

proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from
overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid
dusty areas too.

Using your TV

• Do not stand or climb on the TV.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.

• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks,

aquariums, or lighted candles on the TV. If any foreign
material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the power cord
and contact your dealer.

• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for

extended periods of time. Stationary patterns (such as those
generated by computer displays, video games, or stock
market reports) can become permanently engrained on the
picture tube. This damage is not protected by your warranty
because it is the result of misuse. If you wish to use your
TV to display still images, reduce brightness and contrast
settings. Never leave a computer or video game display
unattended.

Cleaning your TV

• To clean the TV screen:

1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet to avoid possible

shock hazard.

2. Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or chamois cloth to

clean TV screen and trim. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into the TV cabinet may
cause electric shock or damage the TV.

CAUTION

Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other
chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they can damage the
finish of the cabinet.
