WARNING

Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital 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.

Warnings and Safety Precaution

This plasma monitor is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface. 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. The unit is equipped with cooling fans (42XGA only). 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 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. This 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.

NOTE: When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not comform to mandatory FCC standards. Attaching the ferrite cores: Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied). Close the lid tightly until the clamps click. Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the DVI cable.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 V olts 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.

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 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.

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

* 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.

* Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

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. Utiliser un chiffon doux et sec pour nettoyer la surface de l’écran. Ne jamais utiliser de solvant comme de l’alcool ou du diluant. 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. L’appareil est équipé de ventilateurs de refroidissement (uniquement wide-VGA). 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. Ceci

n’est en aucune manière responsable des blessures corporelles ou dégâts matériels pouvant survenir si une personne non qualifiée tente une réparation en ouvrant le boîtier arrière. S’adresser aux services après-vente autorisés.

REMARQUE: Lorsque vous branchez un micro-ordinateur sur ce moniteur, fixez les noyaux en ferrites fournis. Si vous ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en conformité avec les exigences des standards FCC. Fixation des noyaux en ferrite. Monter les tores en ferrite aux deux extrêmités du câble DVI (non fourni) et aux deux extrêmités du câble d’alimentation électrique (fourni). Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu’à ce que les crans se clipsent. Fixer le tore en ferrite (fourni) au câble DVI à l’aide d’un collier.

Pour éviter les risques de brûlage du luminophore, le s 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:

Câble DVI (non fourni)

Collier Collier

noyau (petit)

Câble d'alimentation électrique (fourni)

noyau (large)

noyau (petit)

noyau (large)

Connecteur

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

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 50/ 60 Hz CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des tensions de ligne supérieures à 120 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.

• 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.

* Le brûlage de l’écran n’est pas couvert par la garantie.

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

Command 1 Unit ID 1 Unit ID 2 Command 2 Data length Data Check sum

Command 1

Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to distinguish each command. In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and data of the supported equipment have been received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this indicates that unsupported commands and data have been received.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the equipment that is to be connected. 60H is used for the plasma monitor and 80H is used for external control equipment such as a personal computer.

1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal

2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal

2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port (RS-232C) connector. See the specifications of the equipment that is to be connected for the type of connector and the pin assignment.

3) Wiring

Use a crossed (reverse) cable.

Wire the cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and RTS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).

Communication Parameters

(1) Communication system Asynchronous (2) Interface RS-232C (3) Baud rate 9600 bps (4) Data length 8 bits (5) Parity Odd (6) Stop bit 1 bit (7) Communication code Hex

Command 2

Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to distinguish each command.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity are used together for a check of the received data. The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of sent or received data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data Length, and Data.

Check Sum Example

DFH 80H 60H 47H 01H 01H 08H Command 1 Unit ID 1 Unit ID 2 Command 2 Data Length Data Check Sum

Total 208H

2) Error Processing

• When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be recognized. If, at this time, meaningful data cannot be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as valid data).

• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data error, the check sum error , and the receive data are all

taken in.

Precautions

Please read this manual carefully before using your plasma monitor and keep the manual handy for future reference.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.

WARNING

Warning

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Warnings and Safety Precaution

2. Do not use this unit 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.

NOTE: When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not comform to mandatory CE or C-Tick standards. Attaching the ferrite cores: Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied). Close the lid tightly until the clamps click. Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the DVI cable.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in

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.

* Always enable and use your computer ’s screen saver

using it.

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

* 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.

* Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

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