Care
For better performance and safer operation of
your TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations
and precautions:
29) If you use the TV in a room whose
temperature is 32°F (0°C) or below, the
picture brightness may vary until the LCD
warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
30) Always unplug the TV
before cleaning. Gently
wipe the display panel
surface (the TV screen)
using a dry, soft cloth only
(cotton, fl annel, etc.). A hard cloth may damage
the surface of the panel. Avoid contact with
alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline
solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or
chemical cloths, which may damage the
surface. Never spray volatile compounds
such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such
products may damage or discolor the
cabinet.
31)
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
32) While it is thundering, do not touch the
connecting cables or apparatus.
33) For added protection of your TV from
lightning and power surges, always unplug
the power cord and disconnect the antenna
from the TV if you leave the TV unattended
or unused for long periods of time.
34) During normal use, the TV may make
occasional snapping or popping sounds.
This is normal, especially when the unit
is being turned on or off. If these sounds
become frequent or continuous, unplug the
power cord and contact a Toshiba Authorized
Service Center.
35)
WARNING: RISK OF
SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE!
Never strike the screen with a sharp or
heavy object.
