NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS IN THE U.S.A.
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention
to Article 820-40 of the U.S. NEC, which provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional
antenna grounding information, see items 28 and 29 on page 4.
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 industry
is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe.
a The Consumer Electronics Association
formed the Home Entertainment Support
Safety Committee, comprised of TV and
consumer electronics furniture
manufacturers, to advocate children’s safety
and educate consumers and their 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 Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
a Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home
with your family and friends. Thank you!
