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 If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV. 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. 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. Lamp Unit Replacement CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! The temperature of the lamp immediately after use exceeds 392°F (200°C). Touching the lamp before it has cooled will result in severe burns. ALLOW THE LAMP TO COOL FOR AT LEAST ONE (1) HOUR BEFORE REPLACING IT. Toshiba Cares! The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. 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. The lamp in this product has a limited service life. The length of service life varies depending on product use and 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. · Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for your area. See "Lamp unit replacement and care" on pages 103­105. Tune Into Safety One size does NOT fit all!
