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) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 ¼F (0 ¼C) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
28) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Wipe the display panel surface gently using only
a 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. Do not spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. This may cause a discoloration or damage the cabinet.
29) To avoid damage to this product, never place or store the TV in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas subject to excessive dust or vibration.
