PRECAUTIONS
Installation environment
Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.
Do not put the monitor in the following places.
• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
• A place where the temperature is widely changing.
• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
• Poor air ventilation place.
• Place near fire.
• A wet plac e such as bathroom, or shower room.

Yo ur eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.
Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.
Please watch the monitor in downward direction.
Note on image retention
The Plasma display illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness
of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.
Please refer to the user manual for this model for instruction on how to use these features.
• Ensure screen saver mode is activated.
• Always display the image in a mode that fills the screen.
• Avoid using split screen mode for long periods of time.
• Do not allow the “On Screen Display” to stay on for long periods of time.
• Do not display still images, such as menus from game consoles, T/Text, PCs or logos, on the panel for long periods of time.
• We recommend that the “Contrast” and “Brightness” level is reduced as much possible.
How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
To prevent scratching o r da magi ng the plas ma scree n face , do n ot k nock o r rub t he sur fa ce wit h shar p or h ard obj ects. C lea n the screen wi th a soft cl oth
moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

How to clean the cabinet of the monitor
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft
cloth and afterward wipe with a dr y soft cloth.
Never use acid/alkali ne deter gent, alcoholi c detergent , abrasive clea ner, powder soap, OA clean er, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially be cause they
would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.
Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers
This monitor has been desig ne d purs u ant to the international EMI stan d ards. This is to prevent a probl em to R adi o receiv er s.
• Keep the monitor away from Radio.
• Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.
• The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.
You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned above.
Precautions for the cable connection
•Do ensure that all connections, (including the power plug, extension leads and interconnections between the pieces of equipment), are
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the power plug before making or
changing connections.
•Confirm the connector is fixed tightly when the signal cable is connected.
Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.
• Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other equipment, such as Radio etc.
• Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.
Precaution during transportation

video signal from AV1, AV2 input will be displayed on both screens at the same time.
zIf video equipment with an S vedio output terminal is used, cabling by the S vedio cable is recommended to provide finer vedio quality. (If an S

IMAGE RETENTION OF PLASMA DISPLAY
There are different characteristics that result in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used.
Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below.
Image retention characteristics of a plasma display
The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs because of partial phosp h o r de gr ad ati o n aris in g f rom pa r ti al ch aracter and figure display.
For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is continuously
displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor (Red, Green, Blue) that will
degrade will be the color of the applicable character display portion. Consequently, when a
white image is displayed on the entire screen as shown i n Fig. a, the ch ar acter marks
displayed up to that time will become a color difference visible to the eye.
Fig. AFig. a
The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time.
• The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters and figures
are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of brightness, as shown in Fig.
B, are continuously displayed for a long period of time, it becomes easier to see image
marks at locations when the brighter figures are displayed to see.
Fig. B Fig. b
* The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention is seen differs
depending on the operation time and brightness.
Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention
• Lower the C on tr ast an d Bri ght nes s sett i ngs of the plasm a display as much as possible.
• Set the plasma monitor to "Screen Wipe" or "Inverse" display.
The occurrence of image retention when displaying images of identical patterns, such as static images, for long periods of time can be reduced by displaying
a reversed color or completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display.
(Settings can be made using Sc reen W ipe and Inverse of Function MENU sho wn on
• Using in combination with moving ima ges
Since the degradation of the fluorescent material progresses comparatively uniformly for moving images, the occurrence of partial image
retention can be minimized .We recommend to use in combination with moving images such as a DVD.
* Please be careful since image retention will occur if display is left in a two screen display state for a long period of time.

NOTES
About screen defects
• High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but there may be dark spots (points that do not illuminate) and bright spots (p oin t s that are
too bright) in some cases. These do not indicate a malfunction.
About residual images
• In some cases, residual images may remain after the short-term display of still images and another image is displayed , but these will disappear and return to
norm alcy. This is not a malfunction.
About the panel screen
• Plasma displays display images by means of electrical discharges inside the panel. Because of this, the temperature of the panel surface may rise in some
cases. Also, plasma displays are made of finely processed glass. A reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface but avoid strong impact because
there is still danger of glass breakage.
