Important

Safeguards

24)Always operate this equipment from a 120 V 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.

32) During normal use, the TV may make

occasional snapping or popping

sounds. This is normal, especially

when the unit is being turned on or

off. If these sounds become frequent

or continuous, unplug the power cord

and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Display: If a fixed

(non-moving) pattern or image remains on the TV screen for

extended periods of time, the image can become

permanently ingrained in the cathode ray tube(s) of the TV

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.

and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of

damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never

leave the TV on for extended periods of time while it is

displaying the following images or formats:

• Fixed Images, including but not limited to PIP/POP

windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV station

logos, stock tickers, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen,

including but not limited to widescreen or letterbox format

media viewed on a 4:3 aspect ratio display (with gray or

black bars at the top and bottom of the screen); or 4:3

aspect ratio format media viewed on a widescreen/16:9

aspect ratio display (with gray or black bars on the left and

right sides of the 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

QUALIFIED

Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

SERVICE

TECHNICIAN

 

 

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.
