WARNING

Warnings and Safety Precaution

This plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.
Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaning
procedure” on the next page.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells) with more than 99.99 percent active
cells. There may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there
is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air
to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the
overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will
be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the
monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where
the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to
cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your
dealer for service.

2. Do not use this unit’s polarized plug with extension cords
or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.

5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if
the unit will not be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The
manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage
caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service
Centers.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 100­240 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might
even cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.

3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the power
cord and have it serviced by an authorized Service
Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to
place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot
spring bath.

9. Do not use in a moving vehicle, as the unit could drop or
topple over and cause injuries.

10. Do not place the unit on its side, upside-down or with the
screen facing up or down, to avoid combustion or electric
shock.

Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:

1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel
area. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to
clean these surfaces.

2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner
with a soft brush nozzle attachment.

3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation
areas must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning
may be necessary depending on the environment in which
the plasma monitor is installed.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in
phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. T o protect

2

your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the
following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing
the occurrence of image burn:

* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver

function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished

using it.

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as

possible without impairing image readability .

* Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

* Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas, for example white characters on black
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever
possible.

* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous
operation take the following measures to reduce the
likelihood of phosphor burn:

Note:

*

Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that
will best suit your particular application needs.

Mises en garde et précautions de
sécurité

Ce moniteur à plasma a été conçu et fabriqué pour
une utilisation fiable et durable. Il ne nécessite aucun
entretien en dehors du nettoyage. Voir la section
“Méthode de nettoyage du moniteur à plasma” plus loin.
Le panneau à affichage plasma est constitué de fines
particules d’images (cellules) dont plus de 99,99%sont
actives. Certaines d’entre elles ne produisent pas de
lumière ou restent allumées.
Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour éviter
d’endommager l’appareil, lire attentivement les
instructions suivantes.

Pour éviter les risques d’éléctrocution et d’incendie:

1. Laisser suffisament d’espace autour de l’appareil pour
la ventilation et éviter toute augmentation excessive de
la température interne. Ne pas couvrir les évents ou
l’installer dans un endroit trop exigu.
Si vous installez l’appareil dans un espace clos,
assurezvous qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace au dessus
pour permettre à l’air chaud de s’élever et de s’évacuer.
Si la température du moniteur devient excessive, la
protection contre les surchauffes entrera en action et
coupera l’alimentation. Dans ce cas, éteindre l’appareil
et débrancher le câble d’alimentation. Si la température
de la pièce dans laquelle se trouve le moniteur est
particulièrement élevée, déplacer celui-ci dans un endroit
plus frais et attendre environ 60 minutes qu’il refroidisse.
Si le problème persiste, prendre contact avec votre
revendeur.

2. Ne pas raccorder la prise d’alimentation polarisée de ce
périphérique à une rallonge ou une prise murale si les
fiches ne peuvent pas être complètement insérées.

3. Ne pas exposer à L ’eau ou à l’humidité.

4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas
modifier le cordon d’alimentation.

5. Débrancher le câble d’alimentation électrique pendant les
orages ou les longues périodes d’inactivité.

6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute
tension se trouvent à l’intérieur. Si l’appareil est
endommagé de cette manière, la garantie devient
caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.

7. Ne pas essayer d’intervenir ou de réparer l’appareil. Le

3

fabricant décline toute responsabilité en cas de blessure
corporelle ou de dégâts matériels résultant d’une opération
d’entretien quelconque effectuée par des personnes non
qualifiées ou résultant de l’ouverture du couvercle arrière.
S’adresser aux services après-vente autorisés.

Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de
service de l’appareil:

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 100-240 V
50/60 Hz CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à
des tensions de ligne supérieures à 100-240 Volts CA
réduit sa durée de vie et risque de provoquer un incendie.

2. Manipuler l’appareil avec soin pendant son
déplacement et ne pas le faire tomber.

3. Eloigner l’appareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux
et exposés en plein soleil.

4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques
pénètrent à l’intérieur de l’appareil. En cas d’incident de
ce genre, débrancher le câble d’alimentation électrique
et confier le moniteur à un service après-vente agréé.

5. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la écran plasma,
car des défauts risquent de se produire sur la surface
de la écran plasma.

6. Pour un montage et une installation correcte, il est
fortement recommandé de faire appel à un revendeur
agréé et qualifié.

7. Comme c’est le cas pour tout affichage à base de
phosphore (comme un moniteur CRT, par exemple), la
puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de
la vie du Panneau d’Affichage à Plasma.

8. Pour éviter tout risque de sulfuration, il est fortement
conseillé de ne pas installer l’appareil dans un vestiaire,
un bain public ou un bain de source thermale.

9. Ne pas utiliser dans un véhicule en marche car l’unité
pourrait tomber ou glisser et provoquer des blessures.

10. Pour éviter l ‘inflammation ou les chocs électriques, ne
pas placer l’unité sur la tranche, à l’envers ou avec l’écran
vers le bas ou vers le haut.

• Assurez-vous de mettre en marche et d’utliser
l’économisateur d’écran chaque fois que c’est possible
lorsque vous l’utilisez avec une source d’entrée
d’ordinateur.

• Affichez une image en mouvement aussi souvent que
possible.

• Changer la position de l’affichage de menu de temps à autre.

• Coupez toujours l’alimentation lorsque vous avez terminé

d’utiliser la moniteur.

Si le moniteur est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez
les mesures suivantes afin d’éviter l’occurence le brûlage
du luminophore:

• Abaissez le niveau de l’image (contraste, luminosité)
autant que possible, sans faire perdre la lisibilité de
l’image.

• Affichez une image avec de nombreuses couleurs et
graduations de couleur (par ex. des images
photographiques ou photo-réalistes).

• Créez un contenu d’image avec un contraste minimal
entre les zones sombres et les zones claires, par exemple,
des caractères blancs sur un fond noir. Utilisez des
couleurs complémentaires ou pastels le plus souvent
possible.

•Évitez d’afficher des images avec peu de couleurs et des
limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.

Remarque:

*

par la garantie.

Contactez un revendeur agréé ou un revendeur de marque
pour d'autres procédures qui conviendront le mieux à vos
besoins particuliers.

Le brûlage de l’écran n’est pas couvert

Méthode de nettoyage du moniteur à plasma:

1. Nettoyer le panneau avant et le cadre en procédant à l’aide
d’un chiffon doux et sec. Ne jamais utiliser de solvents
du type alcool ou diluant pour le nettoyage de ces surfaces.

2. Nettoyer les prises d’aération du plasma en procédant à
l’aide d’une brosse à poils doux fixée à un aspirateur.

3. Pour garantir la bonne ventilation du moniteur, nettoyer
les prises d’air tous les mois. Un nettoyage plus fréquent
peut s’avérer nécessaire selon les conditions
environnantes dans lesquelles le moniteur à plasma est
utilisé.

Pour éviter les risques de brûlage du luminophore, les
mesures suivantes sont recommandées:

Comme tous les périphériques d’affichage à base luminophore
et tous les autres affichages gaz plasma, les moniteurs plasma
peuvent être sujets au brûlage du luminophore dans certaines
circonstances. Certaines conditions d’utilisation, telles que
l’affichage continu d’une image statique pour une durée
prolongée, peuvent causer le brûlage du luminophore si
aucune précaution n’est prise. Pour protéger votre
investissement dans ce moniteur à plasma, veuillez suivre
les directives et les conseils suivantes pour minimiser
l’occurence le marquage de l’écran:
