For a rated current up to 6 A, a type not lighter than H05VV-F 3G 0.75 mm2 or H05VVH2-F 3G 0.75 mm2 must be used.

• Use only the correct voltage power outlet with safety ground connection!

100 - 120 V for USA, Canada, etc.

200 - 240 V for Europe, etc.

(This monitor will automatically adjust to the input voltage 100 - 120 / 200 - 240V.)

• Be careful of power cord connection!

Before inserting the plug of the power cord into a socket of the correct voltage, check that the connection portion of the power cord is clean (with no dust). Then, insert the plug of power cord into the socket firmly, otherwise it may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

	PRECAUTIONS
			ENGLISH
	• 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 monitor.
	Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the
	mains.
	When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.
	Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-
	alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.
	Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.

FEATURES

The following features are provided by the color Plasma Display Monitor.

Large-screen, high-definition plasma display panel

The 42-inch color plasma display panel, with a resolution of 1024 (H) x 1024(V) pixels, creates a high-definition, large-screen (aspect ratio : 16:9) and low-profile flat display. Free from electromagnetic interferences from geomagnetic sources and ambient power lines, the panel produces high-quality display images free from color misconvergence and display distortion.

Multimedia input support

The monitor comes complete with a mini-D-sub terminal and a BNC terminal for RGB input and with a composite/S terminal and a component terminal for video input, and even with stereo audio input terminals. It allows hooking up with a number of devices, from PCs to video gear.

Multiscan converter and Flexible Control LSI

The multiscan converter provides a broad multiscan range of signals, from video signals (15 kHz) to PC analog video signals. Video input is subjected to signal processing by a dedicated LSI to offer better video quality.

Easy-to-use remote controller and EasyMenu

The remote controller included eases the work of setting display controls. Further, the onscreen display system, EasyMenu, displays the status of signal reception and display control settings in an easy-to-view fashion.

Power saving system

The International ENERGY STAR® power saver feature saves power consumption automatically when input signals are not available. When connected to a VESA DPMScompliant PC, the monitor cuts its power consumption while it is idle.
