24) 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.
The slots and openings are provided to protect the TV
from overheating and to help maintain reliable operation of
the TV.
25) Never allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord,
and never place the TV where the power cord is subject to
wear or abuse.
26) Never overload wall outlets and extension cords.
27) Always operate this equipment from a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
power source only.
28) 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).
29)
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:
30) 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.
31) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
spray volatile compounds, such as insecticide, on the
cabinet. This may discolor or damage the cabinet.
32)
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV
cabinet slots.
33) 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.
34) 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.
35) 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.
36) Special care for DLP
®
(Digital Light Processing) units:
The lamp unit in this product has a limited service life.
The length of service life varies depending on product
use or user settings. If you use the lamp beyond its
service life:
you may notice a reduction in the colors and/or
brightness of the picture, at which time you should
replace the lamp unit; and
the strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will be
reduced and the lamp may rupture. If the lamp ruptures,
the TV will not operate until the lamp unit is replaced.
See “Lamp unit replacement and care” in Chapter 9.
Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method
for your area.
The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of
mercury may be regulated due to
environmental considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, please contact your
local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance (www.eiae.org).
Service
37)
Never attempt to service the TV yourself, except as
specified in the “Lamp unit replacement and care” section
in Chapter 9. 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 Center.
38) 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.
