FCC NOTICE
• MU-42PZ11/A/B/G/K/S : A Class A digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Adigital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Power supply cord/appliance coupler is used as the main disconnect device, and as
such shall be easily accessible after installation.
Colored dots on the screen
A PDP (Plasma Display Panel), depending on its size, contains from 0.9 to 2.2 million individual
cells. Even with advanced technology it is inevitable that a few defective cells may be found in
the PDP. These defective cells may be visible as colored dots. We continually strive to minimize
the number of defective cells but the existence of a few such defects will not be considered as
sufficient reason for exchange or refund.
Earth wire should be connected.
- If the earth wire is not connected, there is possible a danger of electric shock caused by the
current leakage.
-If grounding methods are not possible, a separate circuit breaker should be employed and
installed by a qualified electrician.
-Do not connect ground to telephone wires, lightning rods or gas pipe.
• MU-42PZ15/A/B/G/K/S : A Class B digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This product should
not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources
This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Power-Cord Polarization
This product is equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code (U.S.A.),
ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product
(receiver) during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this
