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

o If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your
home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
o 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.
o 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.

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these
instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized or grounding
type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has
two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during
lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of
time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
15) The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
16) 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.

Toshiba Cares!

o The consumer electronics industry is
committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and
safe.
o 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

o One size does NOT fit all! Use
appropriate furniture large enough to
support the weight of your TV (and other
electronic components).
o Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to
secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything
directly into the TV).
o Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
o Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
TVs.
o Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,
remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
o Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
o Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the
home with your family and friends. Thank you!
