When using the Plasma Display Monitor
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display Monitor.
Top of Plasma Display Monitor 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 display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its
ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display Monitor.
Moving the Display 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.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
•
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.
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.
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to
•
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of
the same type, until the surface is dry.
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.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
•
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display Monitor. 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.
