Introduction to the Flat Panel Displays

1.2.2 Operating the Remote Control

The remote control for the flat panel display is a powerful tool. This section provides a brief introduction to your remote control while later sections explore more advanced operations.

Insert the Batteries into the Remote Control

To open, push and slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrows. Load the supplied two AA size batteries by the negative polarity (–) ends first.

The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If the remote control seems to be failing or is weak, replace the provided batteries with new alkaline batteries.

Never mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leaks in old batteries. Also, mixing different types or brands of batteries can cause issues as batteries brands have slightly different characteristics.

Note:

If the flat panel display’s remote control is not needed for an extended length of time, remove the batteries.

Remote Control Issues

There are a small number of issues that can affect your remote control but the most common is weak batteries. Weak batteries in the remote control can cause communication to fail or only operate sporadically. In this situation, try moving closer to the panel and attempt to control the panel with the remote. If the panel responds, change the batteries. If moving closer has no effect on the panel, check the surroundings for objects that might be blocking the signal. Also consider other equipment with remote controls that are in the area around the panel. Objects and other IR signals can disrupt the remote. For more help with your remote control, refer to “7.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)”.

Operating Range for the Remote Control

To control the flat panel display, point the remote towards the sensor on the panel’s bottom right corner. For easy operation, keep the distance between the remote control and the sensor less than 7 m (23 feet) and at an angle of less than 30 degrees.

The remote control may not work properly if the sensor is in direct sunlight or very bright lighting. If your viewing room is naturally bright, change the position of the panel or physically use the remote control closer to the panel’s sensor.

Note:

If the remote control is left sitting in direct sunlight or under a very strong light, the case could warp or deform.

Introduction to the Flat Panel Displays

1.2.3 Buttons on the Remote Control

Except for a few options, commands available through the buttons on the flat panel display are duplicated on the remote control. The remote control can be programmed to control other equipment such as a DVD Player, Surround Sound system, etc. A later section entitled “6. Use Other Equipment With Your Flat Panel Display” explains how to use the remote to control other equipment.

(PRO-101FD)

Install Your Flat Panel Display

2.2.1 Check the Location for Suitability

When choosing the location for your panel, there are several factors to keep in mind. The installation site should be out of direct sunlight and have sufficient ventilation around the flat panel display to allow cooling. The diagram below is an example of a stand-mounted panel with proper ventilation.

Use the checklist below to judge possible installation sites.

Sufficient ventilation No danger of power overloads Safe from excessive vibrations Separate from other IR equipment Away from air conditioners Protected from hits or shocks Free of moisture or dampness Distance from heat sources No danger of splashing water Out of direct sunlight Route cords and cables safely Away from strong lighting sources

For specific cautions and safety information, refer to “8.2 Physical Location & Temperature Considerations” and “8.8 Safety Precautions.”

2.2.2 Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To’s)

This flat panel display is built for endurance but because of the technology, the panel must be handled with care. Use the handles attached to the rear of the flat panel display to lift the unit. To avoid flexing or twisting the unit, you need at least two people to lift and move the panel. Do not move the flat panel display by holding only a single handle or by dragging the panel by its handles.

Note:

Do not use the handles to hang the flat panel display or as anchors to prevent the panel from slipping or tipping after it is mounted.

12 mm to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches)

2.2.3 Mount the Flat Panel Display

Because your flat panel display is slim but heavy, have at least two people mount and/or position the panel. The following sections provide instructions for the different mounting and anchoring options.

Anchor the Panel When Using a Stand

When using a stand, stabilize the panel to keep it from tipping over. Please use the metal fittings and screws supplied with the optional stand to anchor the panel to a wall or other solid support structure.

Another option is to purchase hooks, cords, and fittings through your installer or from your local hardware store. The hardware size and strength depends on the composition and thickness of the anchoring surface.

Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm (3/8 inch), length 12 mm to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches)

To anchor the panel when using the optional stand, follow the steps below.

1 ) Attach the hooks to the mounting holes on the

back of the panel. 2 ) Sink the fittings into the wall or support structure. 3 ) Run cords between the hooks and the fittings. 4 ) Tighten the cords until the panel is anchored but

not pulled off balance.

To stabilize the flat panel display on a table or platform, use the metal fittings and screws supplied with the optional stand as well as commercially available wood screws. The wood screws are to anchor the metal fittings when mounting on a wooden surface. These screws should have a nominal diameter of 4 mm (5/32 inch) and are at least 20 mm (13/16 inch) long.

Notes:

Avoid moving the table after the panel is attached. Do not use bare wires for the cord. If any part of the wire is introduced into the ventilation port on the back of the display panel, fire or electrical shock could result.

Install Your Flat Panel Display

Follow the steps below to secure your flat panel display.

1 ) Mark locations for metal fittings and screws on the back edge of the table using the panel stand to determine

placement.

2 ) Drill holes in the table or platform edge at the marked locations. 3 ) Lift panel into place with the assistance with at least one other person. 4 ) Use wood screws (not included) to secure the metal fittings to the table.

2.4 Connect the Power Cord to the Panel

The final connection is the power cord. Always connect the panel’s power cord to a three-pronged outlet, verifying that the cord is properly grounded. The cord includes a noise filter. Using any other cord may fail to conform to mandatory FCC standards.

As long as the flat panel display is plugged in to an outlet, some power is drawn through the panel. When the flat panel display is not going to be used for a long period, unplug the panel from the power outlet. Unplugging the panel extends the life of the plasma as well as saves energy.

Plug the cord in to the panel but do NOT plug it in to a power outlet yet.

2.5 Route then Bundle the Power Cord and Cables

Once the flat panel display is mounted, place additional equipment in the final position(s). Lay out the power cord, panel cables, and any other device cables in a logical pattern that works for the location. Please consider the following points when routing cables:

• Access to a 3-prong (grounded) power outlet

• Space for the noise filter between the panel and outlet

• Placement of cables under carpets or across walking paths

A reusable cable clamp is designed to lock the bundled cables in place. Your flat panel display has a total of three holes (60 inches: two holes) to attach cable clamps to the back of the panel. Use the cable clamps as necessary.

Cable clamp

Latch

Lever

Install Your Flat Panel Display

Follow the steps below to attach a cable clamp.

1 ) Thread the clamp band through the holder and bundle the cable(s) in the cable clamp. 2 ) Push and hold the levers then insert the hook into an appropriate hole on the rear of the flat panel display. 3 ) Pull up the clamp band to lock.

4 ) Confirm that the cable clamp is seated firmly in the panel.

Note:

Avoid pinching or creating pressure points when routing or bundling cables.

To remove the clamp band, pull and hold the latch to release. To remove the cable clamp, push and hold the levers then pull it out from the hole.

Note:

The longer a clamp is in place, the better chance of deterioration. An older clamp is more easily damaged while being removed and may not be reusable.
