The temperature of the lamp immediately after use exceeds 392°F (200°C). Touching the lamp at this temperature will result in injury.

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. Note: The lamp unit is designed so broken lamp glass remains securely inside the lamp unit.

For additional antenna grounding information, see items 26 and 27 on page 4. 2 09/02 LCOS 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 Americans, 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. 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. Tune Into Safety One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components). Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV). Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs. Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for. Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over. Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends. Thank you! 2500 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22201 U.S.A.
