APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT OPEN.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
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.
WARNING
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely
attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the
installation instructions. See item 25 on page 4.
WARNING:
If you decide to wall mount this
television, always use a UL Listed wall bracket
appropriate for the size and weight of this television.
The use of any wall bracket other than a UL Listed
wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of this
television for wall mounting this television could result
in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. See
“Removing the Pedestal Stand” (page 6).
NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. 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
32 and 33 on page 4.
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your
new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend
and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,
flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands
or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are
inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts may fall
over and cause injury.
TOSHIBA Cares!
• The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
Tune Into Safety
•
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture
that can easily be used as steps, such
as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can
become excited while watching a
program, especially on a “larger
than life”flat panel display. Care
should be taken to place or install
the display where it cannot be
pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and
cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your
flat panel display, always:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such
as UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your
flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• A minimum of two people are
required for installation. Flat panel
displays can be heavy.
CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat
Panel Display
3
• NEVER allow your body to come in contact with any
broken glass or liquid from the damaged television.
The LCD panel inside the TV contains glass and a toxic
liquid. If the liquid comes in contact with your mouth
or eyes, or your skin is cut by broken glass, rinse the
affected area thoroughly with water and consult your
doctor.
• ALWAYS contact a service technician to inspect the TV
any time it has been damaged or dropped.
15) CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
use the polarized plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can
be inserted completely to prevent blade exposure.
• To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug
to wide slot; fully insert.

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:
34) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is
32 °F (0 °C) or below, the picture brightness may
vary until the LCD warms up. This is not a sign of
malfunction.
35)
Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Gently
wipe the display panel surface (the TV screen)
using a dry, 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. Never spray volatile compounds such
as insecticide on the cabinet. Such products may
damage or discolor the cabinet.
36)
Never hit, press, or place anything on the back cover.
These actions will damage internal parts.
37) WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into
the TV cabinet slots.
38) While it is thundering, do not touch the
connecting cables or apparatus.
39) For added protection of your TV from lightning
and power surges, always unplug the power
5
cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if
you leave the TV unattended or unused for long
periods of time.
40) ALWAYS unplug the TV to completely disconnect
from mains power. When the TV is turned off using
the on/off switch, it is not completely disconnected
from power and a minute amount of current is still
consumed.
41)
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 Provider.
42) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!
Never strike the screen
with a sharp or heavy
object.
43) • The LCD screen of this product can be damaged by
ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When selecting
a location for the television, avoid locations where
the screen may be exposed to direct sunlight,
such as in front of a window.
• Never touch, press, or place anything on the LCD
screen. These actions will damage the LCD screen.
If you need to clean the LCD screen, follow the
instructions in item 35 on page 4.
