WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code : Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

PRECAUTIONS

• Installation environment

Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.

Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.

Do not put the monitor in the following places.

•Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.

•A place where the temperature is widely changing.

•Places with soot, dust or high humidity.

•Poor air ventilation place.

•Place near fire.

•A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.

•Place where you can trip over it.

•Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.

•Distorted or unstable places.

•How to view the monitor

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.

Please use it in a reasonably bright room.

Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue.

Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.

Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.

Please watch the monitor in downward direction.

• Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

-Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

-Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

-Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

•How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

• How to clean the cabinet of the monitor

Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.

Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the international EMI standards. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers.

-Keep the monitor away from Radio.

-Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.

-The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.

-Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor. If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned above.

•Precautions for the cable connection

-Do ensure that all connections, (including the power plug, extension leads and interconnections between the pieces of equipment), are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the power plug before making or changing connections.

-Confirm the connector is fixed tightly when the signal cable is connected. Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.

-Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other equipment, such as Radio etc..

-Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.

•Precaution during transportation

Please pay attention when you transport this monitor because it is heavy.

Furthermore, use the original carton box and its packaging materials when the monitor is transported.

Failure to transport the monitor in any carton except the original carton may result in damage to the monitor.

Save the original carton box and all packing material.

Do not physically impact the remote control.

A physical impact could cause damage or malfunction of the remote control.

•Take care not to drop the remote control.

•Do not place heavy objects on the remote control.

Avoid strong rays.

Any strong rays (such as direct sun rays or room lighting) onto the remote control sensors could invalidate the remote control.

Avoid radio interference.

Any interfering radiation could cause distorted images or noises.

• Avoid radio generator such as a mobile telephone, transceiver, etc. around the monitor.

Set the sound volume at a suitable level.

It is better to keep the volume level low and close the windows at night to protect the neighborhood environment.

•Precautions for the installation

-Do not use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety, always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

-Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

-This product is designed to comply with the recommended safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet that could cause the product to overturn resulting in product damage and/or personal injury.

-Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as recommended by the manufacturer.

-Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

-Consult your dealer if you are in any doubt about installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
