Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the 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.
Precautions
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the
TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged
by the weight of the TV.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and
avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty areas too.
• Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or
near a heater. Avoid areas subject to extremely high
temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of 41˚F(5˚C) or
lower.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or
cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks
into the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.
• If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may
occur on the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color
fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power
on) and the condensation will evaporate.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
PIP/double-window display, computer displays, video games,
stock market reports, etc., can become permanently
engrained on the picture tube. This damage is not protected
by your warranty because it is the result of misuse. If you wish
to use your TV to display still images, reduce brightness and
contrast settings. Never leave a PIP/double-window,
computer, or video game display unattended.
• Sit approximately 10-25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too
far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to
appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the
TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove
the source of any reflections while viewing.
Cleaning your TV
• Clean the TV with a soft, dry cloth. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine which might damage the finish of
the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to
wipe the cabinet clean, then finish with a dry cloth.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Extensive viewing of fixed (non-moving) images or patterns can
cause uneven aging of the picture tube, and leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image in the picture. This type of damage is
NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
. Never leave the TV on
and unattended for long periods of time while the following
formats or images are displayed:
— Fixed images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers, video
game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
— Special formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (bars at top and bottom of screen), or viewing
normal (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (bars on
left and right sides of screen).
Use this TV with the Toshiba stand listed in
the Specifications section on page 52 only.
Use with other stands may result in
instability, causing possible injury or death.
