Child Safety

It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands

Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes,
in fact, have more than one TV.

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger
TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on
the proper TV stands.

 

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio

speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,

causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

 The consumer electronics industry is committed to

making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

 The Consumer Electronics Association formed the

Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee,

comprised of TV and consumer electronics furniture

manufacturers, to advocate children’s safety and educate

consumers and their families about television safety.

Tune Into Safety

One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to
support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).

Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture
to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper
use of this product.

Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.

Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control,
or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program
and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with
your family and friends. Thank you!

Dear Customer,

You must carefully read and understand all of the safety instructions

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
