NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This is a reminder 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. For additional antenna
grounding information, see items 27 and 28 on page 4.
NOTICE OF 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.
See page
4 for details.
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!
