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 Americans, 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!
