CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat
Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new
product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend
and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,
flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper
stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are
inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests or carts may fall
over and cause injury.
TOSHIBA Cares!
• The consumer electronics industry is
committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
Tune Into Safety
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacture’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat
panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture
that can easily be used as steps, such
as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become
excited while watching a program,
especially on a “larger than life” flat
panel display. Care should be taken
to place or install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to
the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed
by curious children.
Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your flat panel
display, always:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such
as UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your
flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• A minimum of two people are
required for installation. Flat panel
displays can be heavy.
