6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
* Dot Defect
The Plasma panel is a high technology
product with resolution of two million to six
million pixels. In avery few cases, you could
see fine dots on the screen while you're
viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated
pixels and do not affect the performance and
reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
"Cracking" noise: A cracking noise that
occurs when watching or turning off the TV
is generated by plastic thermal contraction
due to temperature and humidity. This noise
is common for products where thermal
deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-
speed switching circuit, which supplies a
large amount of current to operate a product.
It varies depending on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation
openings. When watching the TV for a long
period, the ventilation openings may become
hot. This does not affect the performance of
the product or cause defects in the product.

games. If you or anybody from your family
has a history of epilepsy or seizure, please
consult with your doctor before watching 3D
TV.
Also certain symptoms can occur in
unspecified conditions without any previous
history. If you experience any of the following
symptoms, immediately stop watching the
3D imaging and consult a doctor: dizziness or
lightheadedness, visual transition or altered
vision, visual or facial instability, such as eye
or muscle twitching, unconscious action,
convulsion, loss of conscience, confusion
or disorientation, loss of directional sense,
cramps, or nausea. Parents should monitor
their children, including teenagers, for these
symptoms as they may be more sensitive to
the effects of watching 3D TV.
