27) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the
National Electric Code).
28) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in
a position where your body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna
near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
• Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.
Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:
29) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.
30) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on
the cabinet. This may cause a discoloration or damage of
the cabinet.
31) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any
kind into the TV cabinet slots.
32) If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when
the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the
lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the
color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to
7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.
Care
(cont. from previous column)
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) Special care for DLP TM (digital light processing) units:
• Lamp—The lamp in this product has a limited service life.
The length of service life varies depending on product
use or user settings. If you use the lamp beyond its
service life:
- you may notice a reduction in the colors and/or
brightness of the picture, at which time you should
replace the lamp unit; and
- the strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will be
reduced and the lamp may rupture. If the lamp ruptures,
the TV will not operate until the lamp unit is replaced.
See “Appendix” on pages 56–60.
Note:
• The lamp unit is designed so broken lamp glass remains
securely inside the lamp unit.
• The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of
mercury may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local authorities or the
Electronics Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
• Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for
your area.

perform routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating condition.
38) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV.
