Important Safeguards
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This symbol indicates "dangerous voltage"
inside the product that presents a risk of
electric shock or personal injury.
CAUTION
DO NOT OPEN
Warnings and Precautions
1. Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings of your plasma TV. The
top of your plasma TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is released through the ventilation holes.
Burns or personal injuries may occur if any body parts are placed too close. Placing any object
near the top of your plasma TV could result in heat related damages to the object and your plasma
TV.
2. Disconnect all cables before moving your plasma TV. Moving your plasma TV with its cables
attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger.
3. To prevent damage which may result in a fire or shock hazard, do not expose your plasma TV to
rain or moisture.
4. Keep your plasma TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.
5. Use in a well-ventilated area and do not cover your plasma TV ventilation openings.
6. Unauthorized modification of this equipment or use of an unshielded power cord or video input
source cable may cause excessive interference.
7. When your plasma TV is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
8. If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your plasma TV, then disconnect it from the
electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source cable is connected correctly, then
reconnect your plasma TV to the electrical outlet.
9. Disconnect your plasma TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
10. Do not place your plasma TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your plasma TV may fall,
causing serious damage.
11. Do not place your plasma TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces. Never place your
plasma TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not install your plasma TV in an enclosed
area unless correct ventilation is provided.
12. Your plasma TV should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the label. If the
type of available power is unknown, consult your electrician or local power company.
13. Your plasma TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only fit into a grounded
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician. Do not alter the plug because this will defeat the safety feature.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not remove cover (or back). No
user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
This symbol indicates important
instructions accompanying the product.

14. Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord near high traffic areas.
15. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
16. Disconnect your plasma TV from the main power supply and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel if:
• The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled into your plasma TV.
• Your plasma TV has been exposed to water or moisture.
• Your plasma TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of other
controls may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore your plasma TV to normal operation.
• Your plasma TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
Avoid Image Sticking
1. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, such as letterbox black bars,
stock tickers, video games, or shopping channel logos and pricing displays, can leave an image
permanently burned into the screen. Avoid this by mixing your viewing patterns. Do not show the
same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week.
2. The warranty does NOT include PDP screen degradation.

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 or more 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.
FCC Warning
To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use grounded power supply cord and the provided shielded
video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is going to be used, use only a shielded BNC (5)
cable. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.
