Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

When using the Plasma TV

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.

•Top of the Plasma TV is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the TV could also result in heat damage to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

• Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.

•Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

Cleaning and maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

•If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of the same type, until the surface is dry.

•Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

•If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

• Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

•Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

Note:

Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma TV.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
