SAFETY INFORMATION
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). Although our company produces the
plasma display panels 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 the
monitor to cool for 60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer for
service.
2. Do not use the power cord 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 unit 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. We are
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 other than
100~240V 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 unit
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. To
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 computerÕs 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.
