with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna

Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
monitor, follow these recommendations and precautions:
28) If you use the monitor in a room whose temperature is
32 ºF (0 ºC) or below, the picture brightness may vary until
the LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
29) Always unplug the monitor
before cleaning. Gently wipe the
display panel surface (the
monitor screen) using a dry, soft
cloth only (cotton, flannel, etc.).
A hard cloth may damage the
surface of the panel. Avoid
contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline
solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths,
which may damage the surface. Never spray volatile
compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such
products may damage or discolor the cabinet.
