Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV,
follow these recommendations and precautions:
32) 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.
33) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Gently wipe the display
panel surface (the TV screen) using
a dry, soft cloth only (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.
34) WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV
cabinet slots.
35) While it is thundering, do not touch the connecting cables or
apparatus.
36) 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.
37) 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.
38) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH!
Never strike the screen with a sharp or
heavy object.
39) 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 33 on
