• When mounting the Plasmavision vertically, make sure that the power lamp is at the lower right.

Notes

• Do not display the same picture (pattern) continuously for a long time. Doing so raises the brightness of the picture and may cause after-images.

• Looking at the picture continuously for a long time can tire the eyes. View the display from a reasonable distance (about three times the length of the screen).

∗

If something is wrong with the Plasmavision internally, the built-in protection circuit will cut the power automatically. If so, the power lamp will blink in red, indicating a malfunction.

• If the power lamp is blinking red, it is warning that something is wrong with the Plasmavision. There is a danger of fire or electrical shock, so be certain to unplug the power cord and contact your product dealer. (See P52)

• The plasma display panel has been built using extremely precise and sophisticated technologies. More than 99.99% of its pixels are effective. However, a minute number of pixels are missing or constantly lit.

• Do not install the Plasmavision where there will be interference between it and other AV equipment. (If interference from electromagnetic waves causes jumbled images, noise or malfunctioning of the infrared remote control, change the installation location.)

• When the display is installed vertically, only still images appears.

PREVENTING EQUIPMENT FROM FALLING

To prevent accidents and to ensure safety during disasters such as earthquakes, take precautions to ensure that the equipment cannot topple over.

ATTACHING TO WALL OR COLUMN

• Remove the display cover from both sides. Then, for both left and right sides, use screw A (10 mm) to attach bracket A to the screw hole (highest of the five holes on the side).

• For both left and right sides, use screw B (20 mm) to attach bracket B to the wall. Then tie brackets A and B with a strong rope so that the display panel does not topple over.

• This arrangement is stable when the rope is horizontal or pulled downward.

How to remove display cover

Push, then pull the cover with the fingers.

USING PC CARD

PC CARDS THAT CAN BE USED

Use a 5 V ATA card TYPE I-III that is a PCMCIA Rel. 2.0/JEIDA Ver. 4.0 or later, recommended by Fujitsu. A PC card is not supplied. A recommended version must be purchased separately.

CAUTION

• Do not use a card that operates on 3.3 V, as this can cause operation problems.

• Certain PC cards (not recommended by Fujitsu) can damage the Plasmavision or the card.

PC card

This refers to the card standardized jointly by JEIDA and PCMCIA.

ATA

ATA is short for AT Attachment, which is the interface and protocol that the AT-compatible computer uses for accessing the hard disk.

ENGLISH

JEIDA

JEIDA is short for the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. This organization has promulgated the standardization of specifications for IC memory cards, and has settled on common specifications.

PCMCIA

PCMCIA is short for the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. This organization has devised joint memory card standardization based on the common specifications of JEIDA. Currently, this activity covers not only memory cards but all types of I/O cards. These cards are referred to as PC cards, and their standardization (PC Card Standard) has been completed.

CAUTION

Using the PC card

• Do not bend the card or subject it to strong mechanical shocks.

• Do not use or store the card where static electricity or electrical noise can occur easily.

• Do not use or store the card in hot, humid, dusty or corrosive environments.

• Do not allow grime or foreign matter into the connectors.

• Do not allow the card to place near open flames or to be thrown into a fire, as this is dangerous.

• The card has a limited life. If it is used for a lengthy time, it may become impossible to record data on it.

• Do not touch the PC card or card with wet hands.

PC card and Data

• The customer or a third party may use the card wrongly or expose the card to static electricity or electrical noise. The ensuing malfunctions or repairs may result in wiping out the data on the PC card or card. Keep in mind that Fujitsu cannot be responsible for losses incurred because the PC card has been damaged and recorded data wiped out.

• Do not turn off the power while the PC card is being accessed. Doing so can destroy data on the card.

USING PC CARD

Rear

How to load and unload the PC card
