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 warns the user that uninsulated voltage

within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause

electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any

kind of contact with any part inside of this unit.

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

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS UNIT’S

POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE OR

OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THE PRONGS CAN BE FULLY

INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM OPENING THE CABINET AS THERE

ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING

TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

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”.

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.

8. This equipment shall be connected to a MAIN outlet with a protective

earth-ground connection.

9. The outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily

accessible.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 100 V to 240 V 50 Hz/60 Hz AC power supply. Continued

operation at line voltages greater than 100 V to 240 V 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.

11. To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as

a lighted candle) on the equipment.

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 image retention:

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays,

plasma monitors can be susceptible to image retention under certain

circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous

display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in

image retention if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your

investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the following

guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image

retention:

* 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 image retention:

* 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.

Plasma monitor driving sound

The panel of the Plasma monitor is composed of extremely fine pixels and

these pixels emit light according to received video signals. This principle

may cause you to hear a buzz or electrical hum coming from the Plasma

monitor. Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases

when the ambient temperature of the Plasma monitor becomes high. You

may hear the sound of the motor at that time.

Note:

The following items are not coverd by the warranty.

• Image retention

• Panel generated sound, examples: Fan motor noise, and electrical

circuit humming /glass panel buzzing.

Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that will best

suit your particular application needs.
