Safety Information
Safety Information
Before using the Planar PS Series, please read this manual thoroughly to help protect
against damage to property, and to ensure personnel safety.
• Be sure to observe the following instructions.
• For your safety, be sure to observe ALL the warnings detailed in this manual.
• For installation or adjustment, please follow this manual’s instructions, and refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Safety Precautions
• If water is spilled or objects are dropped inside the display, remove the
power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in fire or
electrical shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.
• If the display is dropped or the chassis is damaged, remove the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical
shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.
WARNING! Wall mounts must be secure.
• If the display is hung on a wall, the wall must be strong enough to hold it.
Simply mounting it to wallboard or wall paneling won’t be adequate or safe.
Caution: The screen could be damaged by heavy pressure.
• Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier
pressure will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where
viewers cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will
create hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.
Caution: The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects.
• The polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass
on the LCD screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.
• If the power cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot, turn off the main
power switch of the display. Make sure the power plug has cooled down
and remove the power plug from the outlet. If the display is still used in this

Important Safety Instructions
1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings.
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use the display near water.
6Clean the LCD screens with an LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes.
7Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or

8Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Important Safety Instructions
9Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from any of the displays.
10 Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
11 Unplug all displays during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
12 You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of
local codes and ordinances when installing your system.
13 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when any
of the displays have been damaged in any way. For example, if the AC power cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into a display,
the displays have been exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate normally or
have been dropped.
14 Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be
shipped.
15 Wall mounts must be secure. The wall must be strong enough to hold all displays,
brackets and cables.

Recommended Usage
16 Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier pressure
will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where viewers
cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will create
hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.
17 The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects. The
polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass on the LCD
screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.
Recommended Usage
In order to get the most out of your LCD, use the following recommended guidelines
to optimize the display.
Burn-In Versus Temporary Image Retention
Burn-in causes the screen to retain an image essentially forever, with little or no way
to correct the problem. Under normal use, an LCD will not experience burn-in, as
plasma displays do, nor will it retain images in any way.
Normal use of an LCD is defined as displaying continuously changing video patterns
or images. However, LCDs can experience temporary image retention when
recommended usage guidelines are not followed.
What is Temporary Image Retention?
Temporary image retention (TIR) can occur when a static image is displayed
continuously for extended periods of time (12 hours or longer). An electrical charge
differential may build up between the electrodes of the liquid crystal, which causes a
negative-color video image (color-inverted and brightness-inverted version of the
previous image) to be retained when a new image is displayed. This behavior is true
for any LCD device from any LCD manufacturer.
TIR is not covered under warranty. See standard warranty terms and conditions for
details. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid TIR:
• Use the LCD to show a screen saver, moving images or still pictures that change
regularly. When using high-contrast images, reposition the images frequently.
• Turn off the LCD when it is not in use. To use your source computer’s Power
Options Properties, set up your computer to turn off the display when not in
use.

Normal Usage Guidelines
Normal Usage Guidelines
Normal use of the LCD is defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat
buildup, and without direct or indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating
ducts, or direct sunlight that can cause the modules to experience high operating
temperatures. For all modules, do not block fans or ventilation openings. If the LCD
module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosure, ensure
adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.
At 3000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD
module cannot be above 40º C nor below the minimum ambient operating
temperature of 0º C. If one of these conditions exists, it is up to the installer to ensure
that module placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided and/or additional
ventilation is provided to keep the display within its nominal operating parameters.
Cooling Requirements
For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when
the ambient temperature at the top of the wall is predicted to be above the specified
ambient temperature for the panel. Cooling may be done behind the displays and
depending on the wall configuration, it may be helpful to place air ducts (AC) at
every third display tall.
VESA Mounts, General Description
VESA mounts are used to secure the Planar PS Series for display. The display can be
installed using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do not have
a VESA mount and would like to purchase one, contact Planar.
If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with
mounting supplies and an Installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.
Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:
• Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use.
Total screw length will include the penetration length plus the length required
by the type of VESA mount in use.
Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws
could puncture parts inside the display.
• Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are
located.
• Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Installation manual.
• Verify the parts received with the list shown in the VESA Installation manual.

Cleaning the Display
If dust has collected on the power plug, remove the plug from the outlet and clean
off the dust. Dust build-up may cause a fire.
Remove the power plug before cleaning. Failure to do so may result in electrical
shock or damage.
Keep the following points in mind when cleaning the surface of the display:
• When the surface of the display becomes dirty, wipe the surface lightly with a
soft clean cloth.
• If the surface requires additional cleaning, use LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes,
which are available at most electronics stores.
• Do not let cleaner seep into the display, as it may cause electrical shock or
damage.
