Safety precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like
any electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured.
Please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with
all electronic consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation
Do not
Leave more than 10 cm clearance around the TV
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent
overheating and possible damage to the TV.
Dusty places should also be avoided.
DON’T remove any fixed covers, as this will
expose dangerous and ‘live’ parts.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause
damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the TV is left in direct
sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity, or
locations where the temperature is likely to fall
below 5°C (41°F).
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be
exposed to dripping or splashing or objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the
equipment.
DON'T place hot objects or naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights
on, or close to equipment. High temperatures
can melt plastic and lead to fires.
Mains Supply
The mains supply required for this equipment is
110 - 240 V AC 50 Hz. Never connect to a DC
supply or any other power source. DO ensure
that the TV is not standing on the mains lead. DO
NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment,
this incorporates a special Radio Interference
Filter, the removal of which will impair its
performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug
is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should
only be replaced by a correctly rated and
approved type and the fuse cover must be
refitted. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs
with wood screws. To ensure complete safety,
always fit the manufacturers’ approved stand,
brackets or legs with the fixings provided
according to the instructions.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as
such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a
standby mode. Switch off by withdrawing the
plug, make sure your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for
people with disabilities.
Do
DO read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you
are in any doubt about it working normally, or it
is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the
mains plug and consult your dealer.
DO ensure that all electrical connections
(including the mains plug, extension leads and
inter-connections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made and in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions. Switch off and
withdraw the mains plug before making or
changing connections.
ABOVE ALL - NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push or hit the screen, push
anything into holes, slots or any other
openings in the case.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
NEVER guess or take chances with
electrical equipment of any kind - it is
better to be safe than sorry.
THE MAINS PLUG IS USED AS A
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.

Installation and important information
Where to install
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights. Soft or indirect lighting is
recommended for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the
screen.
Always place the TV on the floor or a sturdy level, stable surface that can support the weight of the unit.
It must then be secured to a wall, pillar, or other immovable structure with a sturdy tie using the hooks
on the rear of TV pedestal, or secured to the platform using a fixing strap located underneath the table
top stand. Make sure the surface is wide enough so that the TV’s width and depth don’t exceed the
surface’s edges. If not, the TV may lean or fall over and cause an injury.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as
pressure will break or damage the screen, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or
openings in the case.
Note: A Toshiba wall bracket or stand, where available, must be used.
If a non Toshiba wall bracket or stand is used the products' BEAB approval will become void and the
equipment is then used at the consumers own risk.

Important notes about your LCD TV
The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD Display technology and are not an indication
of malfunction. Therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived defects resulting from these
symptoms.
1. An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed non-moving image is displayed for a
long period of time. The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of
time.
2. The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision
technology; however, there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate
properly (that does not light, that remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD
technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not covered under your warranty. Such pixels
are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a "gun" type of joystick at an on-screen target
may not work on this TV.
Cleaning the screen and the cabinet
After turning off the power, clean the screen and the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend that
you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this may cause
damage.
Disposal
The cold cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD panel contains a small amount of mercury, when the set
reaches the end of its useful life please dispose of it in accordance with Local Government Regulations
or at a recycling centre.
Following information is only for EU-member states:
The use of the symbol indicates that this product may not be treated as household
waste. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which
could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For
more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your
local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
