15/16 inch (10 cm) or more at the top,

3 left, and right; 2 at the bottom; and 2

3/8 inch (6 cm) or more

3/4 inch (7 cm) or

more at the rear. If using some other method for setup, leave a space of

15/16 inch (10 cm) or more at the

3 top, bottom, left, and right; and

3/4 inch (1.9 cm) or more at the rear.

Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that is readily affected by electromagnetic waves.

■ It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In

particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

Heat sources

■ This product should be situated away from heat

sources such as fireplaces, chimneys, radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers).

AC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 Vv, 50/60 Hz. Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go, and use the clamp to secure it. (See “AC cord” on page 8.)

■ If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be

generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.

Safety Precautions

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

■ Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Safety Precautions 1

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.

■ Do not make any modifications to, place heavy

objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist, or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

If the Plasma TV will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

If problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power cord immediately.

■ Continued use of the TV under these conditions

might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Service to the TV by any unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

■ A short may occur, which could cause fire.

Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

When using the Plasma TV

Do not bring your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.

■ The top of the Plasma TV is usually very hot due to

the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the TV could also result in heat damage to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

■ Moving the TV with its cables attached might

damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.

■ Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase

humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

2 HP Pavilion Plasma HDTV User’s Guide

Cleaning and Maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

■ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact

with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

■ Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the plasma TV.

If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

■ Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the

cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

Do not allow a picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent afterimage to remain on the Plasma TV. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Image Retention Protection: If still image data is displayed for more than a few minutes, the image retention prevention function activates automatically and the image disappears. Change the image or change the input source to see an image.
