Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

29) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 ºF

(0 ºC) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the
LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.

30) 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.

31)

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV
cabinet slots.

32) While it is thundering, do not touch the connecting cables

or apparatus.

33) 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.

34) 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.

Service

37)

Never attempt to service the TV yourself. Opening and

Center.

38) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only replacement

parts specified by the manufacturer.

to perform routine safety checks to determine that the
TV is in safe operating condition.
