24)Always operate this equipment from a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source only.

25)Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

30) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air

temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV

is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses.

This can make the picture appear distorted or the color

appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7

hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

31) 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.

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)Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

28)Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

29)WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

for long periods of time, the image can become

permanently ingrained in the picture tube and cause

subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of

damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it

is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock

tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, closed

captions, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen.

For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a

normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of

screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a

widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right

sides of screen).

Service

34)WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never attempt to service the TV yourself. Opening and

removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

35)If you have the TV serviced:

Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts specified by the manufacturer.

Upon completion of service, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

36)When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV. Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion and possible personal injury.
