Bracket:” below.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS 

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 33) and 34).

Congratulations on your purchase! As you 

enjoy your new product, please keep these 

safety tips in mind:

The Issue

• 

The home theater entertainment experience 

is a growing trend and larger flat panel 

displays are popular purchases. However, 

flat panel displays are not always supported 

on the proper stands or installed according 

to the manufacturer’s 

recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are 

inappropriately situated on 

dressers, bookcases, shelves, 

desks, speakers, chests, or carts 

may fall over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry is committed 

to making home entertainment 

enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

• One size does NOT fit all. 

Follow the manufacturer’s 

recommendations for the safe 

installation and use of your flat 

panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed 

instructions for proper use of this product.

• Don't allow children to climb on or play with 

furniture and television sets.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where 

You Use Your Flat Panel Display

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture 

that can easily be used as steps, such as a 

chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited 

while watching a program, especially on a 

“larger than life” flat panel display. Care 

should be taken to place or install the 

display where it cannot be pushed, pulled 

over, or knocked down. 

• Care should be taken to route all cords and 

cables connected to the flat panel display so 

that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by 

curious children.  

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount 

your flat panel display, always:
• Use a mount that has been recommended 

by the display manufacturer and/or listed by 

an independent laboratory (such as UL, 

CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display 

and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to 

safely install your flat panel display, contact 

your retailer about professional installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are 

mounting the display is appropriate. Some 

wall mounts are not designed to be mounted 

to walls with steel studs or old cinder block 

construction. If you are unsure, contact a 

professional installer.

• A minimum of two 

people are required 

for installation. Flat 

panel displays can 

be heavy.

Communications Commission.

23)

Never place the TV on an unstable

cart, stand, or table. The TV may

fall, causing serious personal 

injury, death, or serious damage to 

the TV.

24) When selecting a location for the TV,

• NEVER allow any part of the TV to hang 

over the edge of the supporting furniture,

• NEVER place the TV on tall furniture (for 

example, entertainment centers or 

bookcases) without anchoring both the 

furniture and the TV to a suitable support,

• Never place cloth or other material between 

the TV and the supporting furniture,

• NEVER allow children to climb on the TV.

25) To avoid damage to this product, never 

place or store the TV in direct sunlight; 

hot, humid areas; or areas subject to 

excessive dust or vibration.

26) Always place the TV on the floor or a 

sturdy, level, stable surface that can 

support the weight of the unit. To secure 

the TV, use a sturdy strap from the 

hook(s) on the rear of the TV to a wall 

stud, pillar, or other immovable structure. 

Make sure the strap is tight, secure, and 

parallel to the floor.

27) The product shall not be exposed to 

dripping or splashing, and that no objects 

filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be 

placed on the apparatus.

28) Never block or cover the slots or 

openings in the TV cabinet back, bottom, 

and sides. Never place the TV:

• on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface;

• too close to drapes, curtains, or walls; or

• in a confined space such as a bookcase,

built-in cabinet, or any other place with

poor ventilation.

29) Always leave a space of at least 4 (four) 

inches around the TV. The slots and  

openings are provided to protect the TV 

from overheating and to help maintain 

reliable operation of the TV.

of the National Electric Code).

34)

• 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:

35) If you use the TV in a room where the 

temperature is 32° F (0° C) or below, the 

picture brightness may vary until the LED 

warms up. This is not a sign of 

malfunction.

36) 

• Never use chemicals (such as air 

fresheners, cleaning agents, etc.) on or 

near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that 

plastics may weaken and crack over time 

from the combined effects of chemical 

agents and mechanical stress (such as 

the weight of the TV). Failure to follow 

these instructions could result in serious 

injury and/or permanent damage to TV 

and TV pedestal.

• Always unplug the TV before cleaning. 

Gently wipe the display panel surface (the 

TV screen) using a dry, soft cloth (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.

37) Never hit, press, or place anything on the 

back cover. These actions will damage 

internal parts.

38)

Never spill liquids or push objects of any 

kind into the TV cabinet slots.

39) During a lightning storm, do not touch 

the connecting cables or product.

40) 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.

41) Always unplug the TV to completely 

disconnect from mains power. When the 

TV is turned off using the on/off switch, it 

is not completely disconnected from 

power and a minute amount of current is 

still consumed.

42) 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 Provider.

43)

Never strike the screen with a sharp or 

heavy object.

44) • The LCD screen of this product can be 

damaged by ultraviolet radiation from the 

sun. When selecting a location for the 

television, avoid locations where the 

screen may be exposed to direct sunlight, 

such as in front of a window.

• Never touch, press, or place anything on 

the LCD screen. These actions will damage 

the LCD screen. If you need to clean the 

screen, follow the instructions in item 36).

Service

45)

Never attempt to service the TV yourself. 

Opening and removing the covers may 

expose you to dangerous voltage or other 

hazards. Failure to follow this WARNING may 

result in death or serious injury. Refer all 

servicing not specified in this manual to a 

Toshiba Authorized Service Provider.

46) 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.
