Ph: 1-800-631-3811
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
removing and applying power to the equipment, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

Important notes about your
LCD TV
The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD
Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction;
therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived issues
resulting from these symptoms.
1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed, nonmoving image is displayed for a long period of time. The
afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of
time.
2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may
be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly
(does not light, remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural
property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is
not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when
the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun”
type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work with this
TV.

Your TV may be connected to the internet to support
firmware update, remote scheduling and e-mail capabilities.
You should carefully review the information in this manual
before connecting the TV to the internet or using these
features.
• If you use the remote scheduling capability of the TV, you
will need an e-mail account that is used only for the TV. Use
of non-dedicated accounts (e.g. accounts used to receive
regular e-mail) will result in the deletion of e-mail in those
accounts–even if they are used only for “test” purposes. See
page 75 for more information.
• If you set up any personal e-mail accounts on the TV, any
person with access to the TV will be able to read mail from all
of those accounts. See page 71 for more information.
• If you connect the TV to the internet, any person with access
to the TV will be able to configure the TV to access e-mail
accounts for which they have account access information
(user name, password and server addresses). See page 71 for
more information.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to Toshiba

Features of your new TV

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba TV, one of the most
innovative LCD TVs on the market.
This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic,
digital basic, and digital premium cable television
programming by direct connection to a cable system providing
such programming. A security card provided by your cable
operator is required to view encrypted digital programming.
Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services (such as
video-on-demand, a cable operator's enhanced program guide,
or data-enhanced television services) may require the use of a
set-top box. For more information, call your local cable
operator.
We have provided three separate Guides to facilitate the
installation and operation of your TV.
Please use the Guides in the order shown below to get the
most enjoyment from your new TV.
1) The Installation Guide explains how to connect your TV
to your antenna and equipment.
2) The Operating Guide (this Guide) provides step-by-step
instructions for using your TV's many features.
3) The TV Guide On Screen™ Interactive Program Guide
explains how to set up and navigate the TV Guide
On Screen™ system in your TV.

The following are just a few of the many exciting features of
your new Toshiba widescreen, integrated HD, LCD TV:
• Integrated digital tuning (8VSB ATSC and QAM)
eliminates the need for a separate digital converter set-top
box (in most cases).
• TV Guide On Screen™ no-fee interactive program guide
(- TV Guide On Screen™ Interactive Program Guide).
• Digital CableCARD™ slot for viewing encrypted digital
Cable TV programs (- Installation Guide).
• Two HDMI™ digital, high-definition multimedia interfaces
(- Installation Guide).
• Two sets of ColorStream® HD high-resolution component
video inputs (- Installation Guide).
• SRS WOW™ and Dolby Virtual/SRS TruSurround™
(- page 59) audio technologies.
• Digital Audio Out optical audio connection with Dolby®
Digital optical output format (- page 45; also see the
Installation Guide).
• CableClear® digital picture noise reduction
(- page 56).
• Double-window POP feature (- page 39).
• PC IN (Analog RGB) computer terminal (- Installation
Guide).
• Ethernet (RJ-45) (THINC™) port for connecting the TV
to a home network to enable file sharing (JPEG, MP3), using
personal e-mail, and e-mail scheduling of recordings and
reminders (- Chapter 7 and Installation Guide).
• Color Management Pro allows to adjust standard colors as
well as create 3 custom user colors. The menu will consist
of 3 items: Color Management Control, Color Palette
Adjustment, and Reset. The menu will also have a unique
“black” design to enhance the contrast of the colors against
the background.
• Built-in E-mail client for composing, viewing, replying and
forwarding e-mails.

Note: The TV screen graphics in the Guides are for illustration
purposes only and may be different from the screens
displayed on your TV.

Using the remote control to operate
your other devices
Your TV remote control has one dedicated TV mode and five
programmable multi-brand modes: CABLE/SAT, DVD,
VCR/PVR, AUX 1, and AUX 2. The default device modes
and programmable device modes are listed below.
Note: The TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate
most Toshiba devices. To operate a non-Toshiba device or a
Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed
to operate, you will need to program the remote control. See
“Programming the remote control to operate your other
devices” (at right).

Programming the remote control to
operate your other devices
Device code setup
1

Find the code for your device brand in the remote control
device code table on pages 18–21.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately
until you find one that works.

2

Press the applicable MODE SELECT button (CABLE/
SAT, DVD, VCR/PVR, AUX 1, or AUX 2), until the
MODE SELECT button blinks 3 times.

3

While holding down E, press the Number buttons to
enter the category code (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, as described
below) plus the four-digit device code for your device.

Point the remote control at the device and press p to test
the code.
• If the device responds to the remote control, you have
entered the correct code.
• If the device does not respond to the remote control,
repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.
Note: After programming the remote control, make sure
all necessary keys on the TV remote control (in addition to
p) operate your device. If some keys are not
operational, repeat the device code setup using another
code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after
trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate
your device, use the device’s original remote control.

To control the TV, press the TV MODE SELECT button.

Note:
• Although the TV remote control includes codes for many
devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the
features on certain devices you want to control. If you are
unable to program the TV remote control to operate your
device or some of the features on that device, use the
device’s original remote control (or the control buttons on
the device).
• Every time you change the batteries you will need to
reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These
VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has
this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (“VCR1”
or “VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.

Searching and sampling the code of a
device (8500)
If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you
can cycle the remote control through the available codes for
that device mode and sample the functions to find the code that
operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled,
provided they are applicable to that mode, are p, 1, z, <,
and S. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and
sample its functions:

1

Press the appropriate MODE SELECT button on the
remote control.

2

While holding down E, press 8, 5, 0, 0. The remote
control will enter program mode.

3

Point the remote control at the target device and press p
(or other function buttons that are available to be
sampled).

4

If the device responds to the remote control:
Press E to store the device code. The MODE
SELECT button will blink two times and the remote
control will exit the program mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press B, and then press p. Repeat this step until the
device responds to the remote control, and then press
E.

control device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).
If you unlock the remote control’s volume keys, each device
mode will have its own volume (if the device ID has volume
data). The remote control will operate the volume of the device
associated with the current device mode. (This includes all
remote control device modes.)
If you lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific
device mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the
device associated with the locked mode, even when the locked
mode is not the current device mode. (This includes all device
modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).
When the remote control is in AUX 1 (or AUX 2) mode, the
remote control will operate the volume of the device associated
with the AUX 1 (or AUX 2) mode, even when the volume is
locked to another mode.

To program channels automatically:

1

Configure the antenna input sources, if you have not
already done so (- page 25).

When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control
panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you programmed
into the TV’s channel memory.

Programming channels automatically
Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your
area and store them in its memory. After the channels are
programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase
individual channels in the channel memory.
Note:
• You must configure the antenna input source before
programming channels (- page 25).
• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Cable, the
automatic channel programming process erases channels
that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.
• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Antenna, the
automatic channel programming process adds newly found
channels to the existing set of programmed channels
(and does NOT erase channels that were previously
programmed into the TV’s memory). To remove an antenna
source channel from the memory, you must manually
delete it.
• To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel
memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the
remote control.
• Programming channels when the antenna input is
configured for Cable will take substantially longer than when
the antenna input is configured for Antenna. This is normal;
however, once channel programming is finished, you should
not have to repeat the programming process again unless
your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.
• If you have a CableCARD™ inserted, channel programming
for the ANT 1 input is disabled because the CableCARD™
automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s
channel memory. See the Installation Guide for details on
CableCARD™.

into the TV’s channel memory (- page 26).

Tuning analog channels:
Press the Channel Number buttons (0–9) on the remote
control. For example, to select channel 125, press 1, 2, 5.

Tuning digital channels:
Press the Channel Number (0–9) on the remote control,
followed by the dash (=) and then the sub-channel number.
For example, to select digital channel 125-1, press 1, 2, 5, –, 1.
Note: If a digital channel is not programmed—either through
the automatic channel scan (- page 26) or the channel add/
delete function (- page 27)—you will have to tune the RF
channel using the Channel Numbers and dash (=) on the
remote control.

Note: Whenever an item is selected that cannot be tuned (for
various reasons), the TV will automatically tune to the
previously viewed channel or input.

Clearing channels from the History List:
• Reconfiguring the ANT 1 or ANT 2 input will clear the

History List.
Note: See page 25 for details on configuring the antenna
inputs.
• Removing the CableCARD™ will clear the History List.
• Once 32 channels or inputs are stored in the History List, the

oldest item will be removed from the list when a new
channel or input is tuned.
• If History List in the Channel Browser Setup is set to
“Power Off Clear (On),” turning off the TV will clear the
History List.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts
The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to
output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a
second audio program (SAP) containing a second language,
music, or other audio information (when provided by
individual stations).
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word

feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode.

volume that often happens when a TV program switches to a
commercial).

Select SAP in step 3 above.

To turn on the StableSound® feature:

Note:
• A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those
TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might
broadcast another language as a second audio program. If
you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the
screen but hear the other language instead of the program’s
normal audio.
• If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not
broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal
audio will be output. However, occasionally there is no
sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS
feature to Stereo mode.

I. Using e-mail scheduling
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and
delete recordings and reminders by sending a “request e-mail”
to the TV’s e-mail address from any PC.
The four commands the TV will accept are ADD, DELETE,
GET, and HELP, as described in this section.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in
sections A and B (- page 60), and in section H (- page 75),
before proceeding.
When a recording is scheduled via e-mail, the recording device
used will be the VCR connected to the TV's analog A/V OUT
terminals (see item 4 on page 9 for the location of the A/V
OUT terminals; see the separate Installation Guide for various
VCR connection examples).

Sending a request e-mail to the TV
To send a request e-mail to the TV:

1

Format the e-mail following according to the instructions
under “Formatting a request e-mail” on the next page.

2
3

Send the e-mail to the TV.
After the TV receives and processes the e-mail, the TV
will send a reply e-mail indicating whether the e-mailed
request succeeded or failed. See “Receiving an e-mail
from the TV” (- page 81).

E-mail parameters
Note: Some e-mail clients automatically insert e-mail
signatures, which the TV will try to process. These may
generate unwanted error messages.
• The maximum allowable e-mail size is 16 KB. E-mails over

16 KB will be automatically deleted.
• E-mails sent to the TV cannot contain any attachments. The

TV will automatically delete any e-mail with an attached
file.
• E-mails can be formatted either Plain Text or Rich Text
Format (HTML style).
• E-mails sent to the TV that are not properly formatted,
are from the wrong e-mail address, or have the wrong ID
(if specified) will be deleted.
• All e-mails sent to the TV will be deleted eventually.
Note:
• Toshiba is not responsible for any damage or loss
caused directly or indirectly by the failure of the e-mail
scheduling feature to record content intended to be
recorded.
• Toshiba is not responsible for, nor has any control over,
any content recorded and/or viewed using the e-mail
scheduling feature. Further, the e-mail scheduling
feature is not meant to be used for unauthorized
recording and/or viewing of copyrighted works.
• The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or
revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and
other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws
of the United States and other countries, and may
subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting
General troubleshooting
Before calling a service technician, please check this chapter
for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can
try.
Black box on screen
• The Closed Caption feature is set to one of the Text
modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4). Set the Closed Caption
feature to Off (- page 42).
LED indications while in reboot from standby
• When you plug the power cord in the red LED will blink
until the TV enters standby mode, (plugged in but not
powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of
malfunction.
TV stops responding to controls
• If the TV stops responding to the controls on the remote
control or TV control panel and you cannot turn off the
TV, press and hold the POWER button on the TV control
panel for 5 or more seconds to reset the TV.
Other problems
• If your TV’s problem is not addressed in this
Troubleshooting section or the recommended solution
has not worked, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure
(- page 30).
TV will not turn on
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then
press p.
• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the
batteries or try the control panel buttons.
Picture problems
General picture problems
• Check the antenna/cable connections (- Installation
Guide).
• Press + on the remote control or TV and select a valid
video input source (- page 31). If no device is
connected to a particular input on the TV, no picture will
display when you select that particular input source. For
device connection details, see the Installation Guide.
• Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional
outdoor antenna (if applicable).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• Adjust the picture qualities (- page 41).
• If you are using a VCR, make sure L on the remote
control is set to the correct mode (see item 23 on page
13).
• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, make sure
you have not connected the same VCR to the TV’s output
and input connections at the same time (- Installation
Guide).
• Do not connect both a standard video cable and an
S-video cable to the same set of VIDEO inputs
(VIDEO 1, or VIDEO 2) at the same time
(- Installation Guide).

Noisy picture
• If you are watching an analog channel (off-air broadcast
or Cable TV), you can set the CableClear® feature to
AUTO to reduce visible interference in the TV picture
(- page 56).
Video Input Selection problems
• If the Input Selection window does not appear when
you press + on the remote control or TV, press + a
second time, which will change to the next video input
source and display the Input Selection window.
Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4
• If you cannot view signals from external devices
connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or ColorStream®, or
from channels 3 or 4, make sure the Input Lock is set to
Off (- page 49).
Poor color or no color
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 41).
• When the ColorStream® signal source is active, the
VIDEO OUT terminal does not output video. To receive
video from the VIDEO OUT terminal, a standard video
or S-video IN connection must be used instead of the
ColorStream® connections.
POP problems
• If you label all of the inputs as “Hide,” the POP feature
will be disabled. If you then attempt to access the POP
feature, the message “Not Available” will appear onscreen (- page 39).
Poor composite or S-video picture
• If the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g.,
DVD player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) try
using a ColorStream or HDMI video connection
instead.
Picture and sound are out of sync
• As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare
instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television
broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that the
sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This
phenomenon can be caused by various factors including,
without limitation, video processing within the TV, video
processing in an attached gaming system, and video
processing or different compression rates used by
broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try
one or more of the following suggestions, which may
help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:
– If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to
help synchronize the sound to the picture.
– If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV
channels, please contact your local broadcast, cable, or
satellite provider to inform them of this issue.

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Sound problems
• Check the antenna/cable connections (- Installation
Guide).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another
channel.
• The sound may be muted. Press z.
• If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to
Stereo mode (- page 44).
• Make sure the Speakers function in the Audio Setup
menu is set correctly (- page 45).
• If you are not receiving a second audio program from a
known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to
SAP mode (- page 44).
• If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program
you are watching (such as music or a foreign language),
the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to Stereo
mode (- page 44).
• When using an external audio amplifier, if you connect
the amplifier to the VAR. AUDIO OUT terminals, the
volume of the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 or
you will not hear any sound (- Installation Guide).
Remote control problems
• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device
mode (- page 16).
• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and
the TV.
• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the
batteries (- page 11).
• Your TV remote control may not operate certain features
on your external device. Refer to the owner’s manual for
your other device to determine its available features. If
your TV remote control does not operate a specific
feature on another device, use the remote control that
came with the device (- page 16).
• If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset
Factory Defaults procedure (- page 30).
Channel tuning problems
• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device
mode (- page 16).
• The channel may have been erased from the channel
memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the
channel to the channel memory (- page 27).
• The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block
feature. Unblock the channel (- page 48).
• If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the
antenna configuration (- page 25). If you are still
unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from
the channel list (- page 27) and reprogram channels into
the channel memory (- page 26). If you are still unable
to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory Defaults
procedure (- page 30). Also see “TV stops responding
to controls” and “Other problems” (- page 82).

Closed caption problems
• If the program or video you selected is not closedcaptioned, no captions will display (- page 42).
• If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear.
If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature
(- page 42).
• A closed-caption signal may not display correctly in the
following situations: a) when a videotape has been
dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when
the signal reception is nonstandard (- page 42).
Rating blocking (V-Chip) problems
• If you forget your PIN code: While the PIN code entering
screen is displayed, press E four times within 5
seconds. The PIN code you previously stored will be
cleared (- page 46).
• The V-Chip feature is available for the U.S. V-Chip
system only (- page 47).
Recording problems
• If you use the TV’s remote control to start recording, you
will not be able to change inputs (- page 31) or open the
POP window (- page 39). If you attempt to do so, the
message “Not Available While Recording” will appear
on-screen.
• If you are recording a digital channel, you can only
change analog channels while recording is in progress. If
you are recording an analog channel, you can only
change digital channels while the recording is in
progress. This is because the TV tuner that is being
recorded (digital or analog) will be locked on the channel
that is currently recording.
• It is recommended that you use the TV’s remote control
to start recording. If you use a device other than the TV’s
remote control to start recording and then attempt to
access a feature that is normally denied during recording
(POP mode, changing inputs,) the recorded audio and/or
video may not be what you intended to record.
Audio Player problems
The Audio Player stutters and/or stops when playing
files over the network
• The networked PC is not available, was removed from
the network, or is in "hibernation." The Ethernet cables

Home network troubleshooting
Basic network setup problems
Cannot connect to network
• Check the modem and splitter connections.
• Make sure the splitter is connected to the modem or
telephone jack correctly (- page 60).
• Confirm your modem’s operation with this manual.
• Make sure your network address and e-mail account are
set up correctly (- Chapter 7).
No network connection
• The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables(- Installation Guide).
• Make sure the modem’s power cord is plugged in.
• Make sure your network address and e-mail account are
set up correctly (- Chapter 7).
Automatic setup fails
• The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables(- Installation Guide).
• The DHCP service is not enabled on the router, or no
router is present. Refer to your router’s documentation
for instructions on enabling DHCP. If you do not have a
router, you must manually set up the network address
(- page 62).
• Internet service is not available. Check your cable/DSL
modem or contact your ISP for Internet service issues.
Manual setup fails
• The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables (- Installation Guide).
• The TV IP address is the same as the networked PC’s.
The TV IP address must be different from the PC’s IP
address.
• The TV IP address is not on the same subnet as the
networked PC’s. For example, if the PC has IP
192.168.0.100 with netmask 255.255.255.0, and the TV
has IP 192.168.0.200 with netmask 255.255.255.0, then
they are both on same subnet. Conversely, if the PC has
IP 192.168.1.100 with netmask 255.255.255.0, and the
TV has IP 192.168.0.200 with netmask 255.255.255.0,
then they are on DIFFERENT sub-nets.
Unstable network connection
• Unplug the Ethernet cables, and then connect them again.

Home server setup problems
The PC (“Home Server”) name is not displayed
• The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables (- Installation Guide).
• The network setup on the PC is incorrect. Make sure both
the PC and TV are using the same network type (DHCP/
manual) and have compatible network settings.
• The networked PC does not have shared folders set up
correctly. See “Setting up file sharing on your PC” in
Chapter 7 for details.
• There are no master browsers on the network. To
configure your networked PC to be the master browser of
its subnet, refer to your operating system user guide or
consult an IT professional.
• Too many sharing devices are connected. You cannot
connect more than 16 sharing devices at one time.
The PC (“Home Server”) name is displayed but the
shared folder(s) are not displayed.
• The networked PC does not have shared folders set up
correctly. See “Setting up file sharing on your PC” in
Chapter 7 for details.
• The TV’s user name and password do not match the PC’s.
Make sure the user name and password settings in the TV
exactly match the settings in the networked PC. User
names and passwords are generally case sensitive.
E-mail scheduling problems
Cannot schedule a recording by e-mail
• Select “Test” to confirm the e-mail scheduling setup

Password” settings are incorrect. User names and
passwords are generally case sensitive.
Receiving succeeds but sending fails, or vice-versa
• The SMTP and POP3 server settings are incorrect.
• The “E-mail Address,” “POP3 User Name,” or “POP3
Password” settings are incorrect. User names and
passwords are generally case sensitive.
• Your Internet service provider may not support SMTP or
POP3 protocols. Check with your ISP for details on
supported protocols.

The e-mail test passes, but the TV never responds to
the e-mails
• E-mail scheduling is turned Off. Turn e-mail scheduling
On (page 76).
• The sender’s e-mail address is not the “Authorized
E-mail Address.” Make sure the e-mail address you are
using to send e-mails to the TV is the same as the
“Authorized E-mail Address” in the TV’s e-mail
scheduling setup. See “Setting up e-mail scheduling” in
Chapter 7.
Note: Responses from the TV can often be delayed a few
minutes, depending on e-mail/Internet service
availability when you send the request e-mail.

An ADD or DELETE request e-mail returns an
“INVALID MAIL VERIFICATION ID” reply
• The e-mail authorization ID is not specified or is different
from the TV settings. See “Setting up e-mail scheduling”
in Chapter 7.
The e-mail was successfully sent but the recording or
reminder did not work.
• See “Setting the time and date” on page 28.
Personal E-mail problems
