CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :

- Most appliances recommend they be connected to a dedicated circuit; that is,

a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits.

- This may cause a fire or an electric shock.

- 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 service centre.

- 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.

- Use a dedicated power cord. Do not modify or extend the power cord.

- Do not install, remove, or reinstall the unit by yourself (customer).

For electrical work, contact the dealer, seller, a qualified electrician, or an Authorized Service Center. For installation, always
contact the dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

- Do not use if the power cord or plug is damaged, or socket is loose. Use a dedicated outlet for this appliance.

- Do not over bend the power cord and do not place anything on the power cord. Do not install the monitor near any sharp

edge to avoid wire damage.

6 Plasma Monitor

Introduction

Introduction

Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel?

If voltage is applied to a gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that
instant, light is emitted. APlasma Display is the a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

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

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is 42",50" or 60" so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a movie theater.

Versatile

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

The Plasma Monitor Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the Plasma
Monitor screen

The Plasma Display Panel which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. Afew cell defects will
normally occur in the Plasma Monitor manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be accept­able. This also occurs in other Plasma Monitor manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this
Plasma Monitor is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the Plasma Monitor to be exchanged or returned.
Our production technology is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the Plasma Monitor 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 Monitor.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the Plasma Monitor'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 Monitor to be exchanged or returned.

Ensure that the following accessories are included with your plasma display. If an accessory is missing, please contact the dealer
where you purchased the product.
