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 re. Unplug
the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it
may affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct
or re ected light from your Plasma Display.
Note:

Safety Precautions / Maintenance
WARNING
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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which
neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and 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 ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become
damaged. 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 water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added
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 Display. 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.

Maintenance

Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable
surfaces.
The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
