FCC STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance and possible undesirable interference, the provided ferrite cores must be used when connecting this plasma display to video equipment; and maintain at least 40 cm spacing to other peripheral devices. Refer to instructions on page 10 and 11. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Matsushita Electric Corporation of America could cause harmful interference and would void the user's authority to operate this device.

Safety Precautions

WARNING
Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.
The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display.
If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire
or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8 (6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 2 61/64” (7.5 cm) or more at the rear.
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that easily receives electromagnetic waves.
It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
AC Power Supply Cord
3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket
plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.
Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the
power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the
Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
Top of the Plasma Display 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 display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.
Moving the Display 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 Display 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 Display.
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 Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Helpful Hint:
For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries with Alkaline batteries for longer life.
Precaution on battery use
Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter. Disposal of batteries should be in an environment-friendly manner.
Observe the following precautions:
1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.
2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.
3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).
4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.
5. Battery replacement is necessary when the remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the Plasma Display.

Notes:
• Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
• The display resolution is a maximum of 1,024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 1,366 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
• The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
• Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
• There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified frequency range.
• Component Input is possible with the pin 1,2,3 of the D-sub 15P Connector.
