IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

24) Always operate this equipment from

25) 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).

26)

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:

27) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV

and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can
appear dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the
TV, or if sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen.
Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen,
and then remove the source of reflections while
viewing the TV.

28) Always unplug the TV before

cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

29)

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

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

30) [

This item applies to projection TVs only.

] If the air

temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV
is first delivered), condensation may form on the
lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or
the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV
for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

31) 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.

32) 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.

33)

Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Display

If a

fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains on the TV
screen for extended periods of time, the image can
become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent
ghost images.

This type of damage is NOT

COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

Never leave the TV on for extended periods of time
while it is displaying the following images or formats:

• Fixed Images

including but not limited to PIP/POP

windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV
station logos, stock tickers, and websites.

• Special Formats

that do not use the entire screen,

including but not limited to widescreen or letterbox
