HANDY TIPS

• Pictures may become “burnt” into the screen phosphors if the screen is left on for extended periods. To ensure that the display has a

prolonged service life, be sure to use a screen orbiter, white screen. This will ensure the same picture or pattern is not constantly displayed for long periods. (See P. 33.)

• The plasma display panel, which is built for maximum precision, provides more than 99.99% effective pixels. You may find, however,

that some pixels constantly remain lit or dimmed.

• The display has a fan to prevent its internal temperature from rising.

• Be careful with the air delivered by the fan. It may be very hot.

• Contact your dealer if you find that the display does not seem to function properly when used with other audio-visual equipment.

You may need to move your display if it produces degraded pictures or noise due to electromagnetic radiation, or if the infrared remote control does not function properly.

• Pictures may not be displayed properly if you connect a non-standard PC to the RGB input terminal. In this case, contact your dealer

for more information.

• The protective circuit, built into the display, automatically turns off the power if the display has a problem. In this case, you will see

that the power indicator lamp flashes red.

Warning

If the power indicator lamp flashes red, this signifies that the display has developed a problem. When this happens, be sure to remove the power plug from the receptacle to prevent fire or electric shock. Then, check the display in accordance with the instructions given on P. 40, or contact your dealer.

• Viewing the screen constantly for extended periods can strain your eyes. Be sure to stay at a proper distance (at least 1.5 m or 5 feet)

from the screen and to look occasionally away while working.

• Have the display inspected and cleaned by your dealer at regular intervals.

Information

Cables for connecting the display to external equipment are not supplied. Contact your dealer for more information on these products.

INSTALLATION

To prevent the display’s internal components from overheating, make sure that the display is installed in a well-ventilated location. Be sure to use the optional stand, wall-mounting unit or the other unit when installing the display. Also, be also sure that your dealer

performs the installation. See the appropriate instruction manual for more information on the installation hardware you select. To prevent an accident and ensure safety in the event of an earthquake, fix the display securely into position as described below. To ensure proper heat radiation, provide at least as much space around the display as shown below.

* Make sure that the display is installed in a location where the temperature can be maintained between 0°C and 40°C. * Never attempt to tilt the display sideways or backward. * To prevent the power and other cables from being accidentally pulled, make sure that they run along the wall or through corners. * The display can be installed with either of its sides facing down.
