Important Considerations to
Follow:
• General references
Please read the general considerations on safety
and user’s manual in detail before connecting the
plasma screen. Only by this way you can use all the
functions safely and securely.
Keep the user’s manual as close to the device as
possible to search for information. Follow the
instructions on the device and in the user’s manual.
Never let the children use display electrical devices
unattended.
• Use
The plasma TV you have purchased has the highest
quality standards possible in this business line. This
plasma TV contains a display comprising of pixels.
A pixel comprises of three elements (red, green and
blue). Despite the fact that the highest quality check
practices have been used during the manufacture of
screens, some pixels or pixel elements may have
small defects. These faults may occur as continuously
lighted pixels, unlighted pixels or unbalanced pixels
(flashing).
Therefore, these faults are not covered by guarantee.
This is applicable so long as the total of all the faulty
pixels or pixel elements do not exceed the 0.01% of
the total number. The brightness and contrast of
plasma screen decreases in time. Plasma screens
are phosphorus based and in some operating
conditions “Burning” effect may occur. This is actually
the natural deterioration of phosphorus material. This
is a common occurrence in plasma technology.
The operating conditions mentioned above are:
- displaying static images for long durations
- displaying the same background continuously
- using a format other than full screen (e.g. 4:3) for
long durations.
When burning occurs, it is usually not correctable.
Please follow the below listed recommendations to
avoid or decrease burning effect:
- For the first 100 hours of use, please use the
animated pictures or constantly moving still pictures
in full screen mode (slide show).
- Please use your plasma TV in full screen mode
(16:9)
- In case the plasma screen is used as a PC monitor,
please use animated pictures.
Always turn the screen off when not in use.
- Reduce contrast and brightness as far as possible.
- If possible, display the images with maximum
color profundity and scale.
Certain situations may cause a buzzing sound in
the electronics of the screen. This usually results
from the fact that the grounded cables of the
main electric supply are different. A method to
solve this problem is inserting a filter between the
aerial cable and input. These filters are available
at all specialist commercial stores.
• Environmental Conditions
Never use the plasma screen in the environmental
conditions different from the technical data.
Different conditions endangers the device and
may cause fire or fault.
Protect the plasma screen from humidity. This
refers to high moisture, closeness to water, water
drops and water splashes as well as rain. Do not
put any container full of water (e.g. a vase) on the
device.
Protect the device from heat. Keep away from
flames, heating devices, ovens or continuous
direct sunlight.
Protect the screen against heat accumulation. Do
not cover the ventilation holes. In horizontal
position, keep min.10 cm above and below
ventilation holes to furniture and ceiling and 4 cm
from the sides and the back. Do not cover the
TV with cloth. The screen has been designed to
be mounted to a wall.
• Mains connection
This product is Class I and must be connected to
a mains socket with a protective earth. The mains
input and the mains switch are located on the rear
input panel, see page 14. for safe disconnection
of the TV from the manis voltage, the mains switch
is to be turned of and the mains plug is to be
removed from the mains socket. Never use a
damaged mains cable.

the device, remove the power lead from the socket
immediately. Under no circumstances do you
dismantle and/or repair the device by yourself.
Instead, contact our Service Support Line or
another professional workshop.
• Batteries
When swallowed, the batteries pose fatal danger.
Therefore, you should keep the batteries away
from the reach of little children. If a battery is
swallowed, immediately seek medical assistance.
Immediately remove the used up batteries from
the remote control since they may leak and
consequently cause damage.
The batteries supplied with the device should not
be recharged or utilized in any other way, be
damaged, thrown into fire or short circuited.
DISCONNECT THE TV COMPLETELY, SHUT OFF
THE NETWORK OUTLET AND REMOVE THE
MAINS LEAD.
Used up batteries should not be disposed of with the
normal household waste. Batteries should be
disposed of in waste collection points designed for
this purpose.
• Cleaning and Maintenance
Switch off the device before cleaning and remove
the mains lead from the socket. Wait for a few
minutes for the capacitors in the device to
discharge. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.
You should avoid chemical solutions and cleaning
agents, since they will damage the surfaces.
• The plasma screen creates internal high voltage
for gas discharge. Power off during installation,
maintenance and repair and disconnect the power
cable from the socket. Wait for a few minutes for
the capacitors in the device to discharge.
• In case foreign substances such as water, fluids,
metal fragments, etc. enters into the device,
immediately disconnect the mains lead. Never
attempt to touch anything in the device with any
object. There is the danger of electric shock or
accident.
• If an odd smell is emitted or abnormal noises are
heard from the device, immediately disconnect
the mains lead. If no image is displayed in the
screen after switching on or during use, do the
same. In such a case, never attempt to continue
operating the screen.
• In cases of long periods where the TV is not used,
or during thunderstorms, disconnect the mains
lead from the socket and remove the aerial
connection.
• Never connect or disconnect the mains lead with
wet hands. Never switch on the mains switch
with wet hands.
• Only use the supplied mains lead. Protect it against
any damages and do not make any modifications
on it. Never use a damaged mains lead.
• The plasma screen has a glass surface. In case
the device is exposed to overload (e.g. shake,
vibration, twist or heat shock), the glass surface
may get broken. Do not expose the glass surface
to any pressure or shake. In case the glass gets
broken, disconnect the mains lead and do not
touch the glass with naked hands.
• When switched to stand-by mode, the plasma
screen remains connected to the mains.
To cut the connection completely, you should
switch the mains switch off, or pull out the mains
lead from the socket.
• For ergonomic reasons, it is recommended that
you avoid using red or blue fonts or symbols on
dark backgrounds. Such an image may cause
illegibility due to low contrast and tires the eyes
early. Therefore, use high contrast images like
black font on white background.
• Pay attention to loudspeaker output technical data
during the connection of external speakers. Ensure
that the loudspeakers are of the correct
specification to prevent damage to them or to the
internal amplifier.
• Now, the unnecessary packs and packaging
sources are recyclable and must always be
recycled.
• Place the cardboard vertically, bottom side on a
firm ground. You may recognize the upper part
from the direction of the arrows on the longitudinal
side.
• Plasma screen may only be mounted on the
vertical (upright) walls. Make sure that the screen
is switched off and the mains lead and signal

PROG ”, “ VOL ” front panel
Computer mode
For the best image, we recommend 848 x 480, 640
x 480 or 720 x 400 pixel resolution. 848x480 pixel
resolution corresponds to the screen matrix and offers
the best image. You can obtain the driver for this
resolution from the Internet pages of well-known
graphic card producers. Unlike the applications in
CRT monitors, for a vibration free presentation on
flat screens, it is not necessary to select high image
reconditioning. 60Hz of reconditioning is
recommended.
Video recorder mode
If your recorder offers Y/C (S-Video) format playback,
it is recommended to use Y/C (S-Video) inputs to
improve image quality. DVD player mode
For the best use, it is recommended to use RGB
operation mode connectable to SCART 1 input. In
case your player does not offer this operation mode,
please use the Y/C (S Video) signal mode.
Image adherence
The manufacturer would like to state that during
watching frozen pictures (e.g. computer playback)
for long durations, the image remains still visible in
full mask for a few minutes when a different source
is played afterwards. This is known as “image
adherence”. Please note this is normal operation and
not a fault.
Video cable
To connect video signal, high quality 75 Ω coaxial
cable should be used. A low-quality signal cable
may cause distortions and shadows on the displayed
picture as well as exceeding the permissible EMC
level. For perfect and safe operation of the device,
mechanical interlocks for single plug and outlet
sockets are necessary.
