SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
WARNING Fire or electric shock may cause death or serious injury unless you follow the instruction.
• The enclosed power cord must be used!
Failure to do so may cause electric shock hazard or fire hazard.
In USA/Canada, use a UL LISTED/CSA LABELLED or CERTIFIED power cord set meeting the following specifications : Rating: min. 125V, 10A , Length: max. 3.0m , Type: SVT or SJT
Plug type: NEMA 5-15P figure, Parallel blade, Grounding type
In Europe or 200V area, a proper European standard approved power cord is to be used with this monitor.
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.

•FOR THE CUSTOMERS IN THE U.K.
THIS PRODUCT IS SUPPLIED WITH A TWO PIN MAINS PLUG FOR USE IN MAINLAND EUROPE. FOR THE U.K. PLEASE REFER TO THE NOTES ON THIS PAGE.
IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM
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

SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
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 would be degraded to such extent that still images would image retention 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.
• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers
This monitor has been designed pursuant to the EN55022 class B Rules. 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 monitor
-Use the attached signal-cable when you connect the monitor with PC equipment. Do not use other signal-cables.
-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.
