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.

• Do not touch the power plug when lightning is close to you.

You may receive an electric shock.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

You may receive an electric shock.

• Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.

If you obstruct a ventilation hole during the operation of the monitor or just after switching off the power, it may cause a fire or electric shock due to heating up the monitor.

Do not put the monitor screen side up.

Do not put the monitor on a shelf or in a cabinet without adequate ventilation of 4 inches top, sides, bottom and rear.

Do not put the monitor on a carpet or mattress.

Do not cover the monitor with a cloth.

CAUTION

Electric shock or other accidents may cause serious injury or damage to your property.

• Disconnect the power plug from the mains when you move the monitor.

Moveing the monitor without disconnecting the power plug from the mains may damage the cord and cause a fire or electric shock. You are advised to move the monitor with two persons.

Handle with care when you move the monitor, particularly take care of glass screen.

• When you disconnect the power plug.

You have to grasp the power plug itself, do not pull the power cord.

If you pull the power cord, you may damage it and it may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Do not touch the power plug just after disconnecting it from the mains or you may receive electric shock.

• Disconnect the power plug from the mains when you don't use the monitor for a long time.

This is for your safety.

• Do not put the monitor in atmosphere with soot, steam, high humidity, and dust.

It may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not put the monitor in high temperature atmosphere.

Do not put the monitor in the place exposed to the direct rays of the sun for a long period of time. Heat may cause a fire, transformation, or melting of the monitor.

• Do not put things on the monitor.

Do not put things on the monitor or give some shock to the monitor. The monitor may fall down or drop from a desk. And it may cause injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)

CAUTION You may have serious injury or your property may be damaged unless you follow the instruction below.

• Do not coil or wind the power cord.

This may cause excessive heat resulting in a fire.

• Caution for 200 - 240V operation only

This equipment relies on the protective devices in the building installation for short - circuit and over - current protection. Refer to the following table for the suitable number and location of the protective devices which should be provided in the building installation.

Verify that the protective devices in the building installation meets the conditions in the table prior to installing the equipment.

• Remove the power cord for complete isolation!

For complete isolation from the mains, remove the power cord from the monitor or from the wall socket.

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.
