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 manufacturer’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.
