Toshiba 40RV700A - Service and Disposal Safety Guidelines

5
Introduction
5) When the TV will not be used for a long period of
time, such as during vacation or travel, remove
the power plug from the wall outlet for safety.
•
The TV is not completely disconnected from the
power supply line, as minute current is consumed
even when the / Power switch is turned off.
•
The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, therefore the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
6) Never pull on the power cord when removing the
plug from the wall outlet.
Always hold the plug rmly when removing it. If
the power cord is yanked, the cord may become
damaged and a re or an electric shock may occur.
7) Never cut, break, modify, twist, bunch up or bend
the cord or apply excessive force or tension to
it.
Never place heavy objects on the cord or allow it
to overheat as this may cause damage, a re or an
electric shock. Contact a service technician if the
power cord is damaged.
8) If there is thunder or lightning, never touch the
antenna cable or other connected cables.
You may suffer an electric shock.
