Child Safety

It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy
your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
a If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your
home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
a The home theater entertainment experience is a growing
trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however,
they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.
a Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,
causing unnecessary injury.
Toshiba Cares!
a The consumer electronics
families about television safety.
Tune Into Safety
a One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate
furniture large enough to support the weight of your TV
(and other electronic components).
a Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to
secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw
anything directly into the TV).
a Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
a Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture
and TVs.
a Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,
remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
