NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS IN THE U.S.A.
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention
to Article 820-40 of the U.S. NEC, which provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional
antenna grounding information, see items 28 and 29 on page 4.
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
aIf you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
a
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.
aSometimes 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!
aThe consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
a
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
aOne size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large
enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic
components).
a
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your
furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).
aCarefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
aDo not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
aAvoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote
control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
aRemember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
aShare our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home
with your family and friends. Thank you!
