Power Supply

Caution

Do not use damaged electric cord/ plug, or loose outlet.

·It can cause an electric shock or a fire.

Be careful not to forcibly bend the electric cords or press them with a heavy object.

·It may cause an electric shock or a fire.

Do not use multiple devices in an outlet at the same time to avoid the overload.

·It may cause a fire due to overheating from the outlet.

Be sure to ground the PDP power source.

·It may cause an electric shock if it has a failure or electrical leakage. Only use the proper power cord supplied with PDP and connect it to an outlet with a ground terminal.

When unplugging the AC cord, pull out by holding the plug itself and not by pulling on the cord.

·If the power cord is damaged. it maycause a fire.

This manual describes how to operate the PDP properly and safely. Please read this manual carefully. This manual should be retained for future reference.

W a r n i ng : Serious injury or fatal injury may occur, if the indicated warning is not followed. C a u t i on : Minor injury or product damage may occur, if the indicated caution is not followed.

- Warning

Do not place any liquid and foreign objects on or above the PDP.

·It may cause an electric shock

and a fire. Contact your dealer for service.

I n s t a l l a t i o n

- Warning

Do not put candles, mosquito incense, cigarette lighters, a heater, or any other source of heat on or near the PDP.

It may cause a fire.

I n s t a l l a t i o n

Caution

Do not install the PDP where water (rain) drops can enter the enclosure, or where there is oil or humidity.

It may cause an electric shock, a fire, failure or transformation.

Do not install in poorly ventilated locations such as bookcases or closets.

It may cause a fire due to high temperature.

Do not use or keep it in a place where combustible sprays or inflammable materials are kept.

It may cause an explosion or a fire.

Do not place the electric cord or the plug near an electric heater.

The coating on the electric cords and the plug may melt and cause a fire or an electric s h o c k .

Do not install the PDP in an unstable location with a smaller support area than the PDP. It may fall and cause injury.

It should be installed on a flat, stable location.

Install the antenna firmly and away from high-voltage wires and communication cables.

If the antenna touches the high-voltage wire, it may cause an electric shock or a fire.

The PDP should be installed a small distance away from walls or other solid objects in order to maintain ventilation and to prevent heat damage.

Blockage of the ventilatior with table covers or curtains can cause a fire due to the increased temperature inside the monitor.

Be sure to install the monitor on a level surface.

·Safety precautions

Usage and Maintenance -

During a thunderstorm, unplug the power cord and never touch the antenna cable.

·It can cause an electric shock or a fire.

When removing the batteries in the remote control, please place the batteries in a location out of children's reach . It must be disposed properly.

W a r n i n g

Do not insert any foreign objects such as wires and drills into the PDP ventilation slots or the A/V terminal.

·It may cause an electric shock or a fire.

Usage and Maintenance -

Unplug the PDP if you do not intend to use it for a long time. The generation of heat, insulation degradation or the accumulation of dust may cause an electric f i r e .

Do not allow children to play with the PDP.

·It may falls or flip over and may cause serious injury.

Caution

When moving the PDP, turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Make sure that the external connection cords are unplugged (such as antenna cable and input cables) prior to moving.

The electrical cords may get damaged and cause an electric shock or a fire.

Never attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the PDP.

·It may cause an electric shock or a fire. If it requires repair, contact your dealer.

If the PDP is emitting smoke or an unusual smell, immediately turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

It may cause an electric shock or a fire. Contact your dealer for the service.

When transporting the PDP, at least two people should carry it. If it is dropped, serious injury may occur.

The plugs and connectors must be free of dust or water before use. It may cause an electric shock or a fire.

To clean the interior of the PDP, contact your dealer for service. A fire or failure may occur, if it is not cleaned.

When cleaning the PDP, unplug the electric cord and wipe with a soft and dry cloth. Never clean with chemicals such as industrial glaze, wax, benzene, alcohol, thinner, aromatic, lubricant, detergent, or a damp cloth.

Considerations for Usage

Still image (immovable) screen may cause permanent damage to PDP.

Lengthy display of still images from video games, banners, graphics and others may fatally damage the screen.

When using Picture-In-Picture, permanent damage may occur if the sub-image screen stays on the corner of screen for a long time.

3. When using the PDP in 4: the plasma panel. It is recommended that you use 16:9 or Panorama format. (Image burn-in can be avoided by using "Panel Protection" function or a screen-saver. However, once image burn-in occurs, it may not disappear completely. An image will be dimmed as the image is displayed long time or repeatedly.)

※

Any damage to the PDP caused by improper usage (such as image burn-in) shall not be covered by the warranty.

3 formats with sidebars for a long period of time, it may cause damage to

Defective pixels that can be seen on PDP screen. (illuminated spots, bright spots, scotoma , blind spot, blinking)

Generally, PDP consists of about 1.22 million pixels and having defective pixels is possible. A PDP with a number of defective pixels below a certain number is not considered defective. The limited number of defective pixels does not affect the performance or reliability of the PDP. The standard of inspection regarding defective pixels is the same or better as the competitor's offering on similar PDP. It is not subject to replacement or a refund. We will do our best to minimize the defective pixel as best as we can.

·Remote controller

※

Functions of remote controller buttons

The remote controller is using Infra-Red (IR). Point it towards the front of the PDP. The remote controller may not work correctly if it is operated out of range or out of angle.

1 4

If remote controller does not work

1. Check the polarity (+,-) of the batteries in the remote controller.

2. Check that the batteries have power.

3. Check that the PDP is powered and that it is properly plugged in.

Check if any three-wavelength lamp, special fluorescent or neon sign is turned on near the PDP.

Inserting batteries into remote controller

1. Firmly press the ▼ part on the cover and slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Insert the batteries, making sure that the polarities are correct.

3. Close the cover.

CAUTION : Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the national code (Recycling program).

How to use remote controller

The remote controller should be operated within 3 the IR receiver on the front of the PDP.

Used batteries should be disposed properly.
