Toshiba 28Z23G Owner's Manual page 3

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. So,
please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help you with all
your electronic consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation...
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the television to
allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent the TV
from overheating and consequential possible damage
to the TV. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage...
Damage may occur if you leave the TV 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 5ºC (41ºF).
Mains Supply...
The mains supply required for this equipment is 230v
AC 50Hz. 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
13A, and 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.
DO...
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
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.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on

DO NOT...
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers, table-cloths,

wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit the
manufacturer's approved stand 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

any doubt about it working normally, or it is damaged in
any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
