SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate
booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and
supplied with the apparatus.

This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be used.
The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety

instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety
information may be included by adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the
manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be
placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction:

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers)that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong, The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
a thunder or lighting storm.

Do not allow a impact shock or any objects to
fall into the product, and do not drop onto the
screen with something.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet
circuit which powers only that appliance and
has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates dam­age or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use

of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer. Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.

Outdoor use marking :
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or elec-

tric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain
or moisture.

FEATURE OF THIS TV

What is a Plasma TV?

Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large screen
sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can be
thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and or
a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state
is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to
produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These
phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray
Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common
computer monitors.

Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because each
sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different
colors. This means that you get perfect images that
are easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This means
that the display is clear and visible to viewers anywhere
in the room.

Wide Screen

The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for
conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The
Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC
and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install
your plasma display in a variety of locations where
conventional TVs do not fit.

The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
Plasma TV screen

The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million

cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute
colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable.
This also occurs in other Plasma TV manufacturers'
products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean
that this Plasma TV is defective. Thus a few cell
defects are not sufficient cause for the Plasma TV to
be exchanged or returned. Our production technology
minimizes these cell defects during the manufacture
and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise-

This feature is not available for all models.

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer
to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the
Plasma TV is equipped with cooling fans to cool the
Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain
level of noise could occur while the fans are operating
and cooling the Plasma TV.

The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the
Plasma TV's efficiency or reliability. The noise from
these fans is normal during the operation of this
product. We hope you understand that a certain level
of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not
sufficient cause for the Plasma TV to be exchanged or
returned.

FOR LCD TV

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small
“flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is
nothing wrong with TV.

Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the monitor's
performance.

Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may
produce some temporary distortion effects on the
screen.
