IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 reflec-
tions 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.
30. 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.
31. 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
32. 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 Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
33. If you have the TV serviced:
v Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts specified by the manufacturer.
v Upon completion of service, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that
the TV is in safe operating condition.
34. When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a qualified service technician to properly dispose of the
TV. The fluorescent lamp in the LCD panel contains a small amount of mercury.
