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 place such as bathroom, or shower room.

How to view the monitor

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired. Please use it in a reasonably bright room.

Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue. Your 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 or damaging the plasma screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth 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.

Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the international EMI standards. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers.

•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

ENGLISH

Please pay attention when you transport this monitor because it is heavy.

Furthermore, use the original carton box and its packaging materials when the monitor is transported.

Failure to transport the monitor in any carton except the original carton may result in damage to the monitor.
