Getting started:

Your plasma display is a 46” WVGA (wide-screen VGA resolution) plasma
display. It is ultra slim, high picture quality, super flat and emits no radiation. It
has been tested to comply with the EMI Class B, UL and CSA safety standards
and is suitable for both commercial and home use.
Your plasma display is a highly delicate electronic device. Follow the instructions
below to maintain the proper performance of your plasma display.

1.1 Opening the carton:

y Inside the carton, you will find your plasma display and the standard

accessories. Operational accessories, if any, will be packed in separate
boxes.

y Your plasma display is about 37kg in weight. As it is quite big, we

recommend you to carry it with two people.

y The protective glass and glass filter are located on the front of your

plasma display. They are fragile and can easily be scratched. Handle
with care. Do not place your plasma display with the glass downward,
unless protected with soft padding.

y Check if your plasma display is damaged and if any accessories are

missing from the carton.

y Carry your plasma display by the handles located at the back.

1.2 Installing your plasma display:

y Read this manual carefully before installing your plasma display.
y This plasma display consumes about 340-350W of electricity, which is

higher than regular CRT TVs. Connect it to an independent power
source. If it needs an extension cord, please contact your technicians
for an extension cord that can resist higher voltage. Do not use
ordinary extension cords to prevent hazards.

y Put your plasma display on a flat and solid surface to prevent it from

falling . Keep the back of your plasma display away from the wall to
ensure good ventilation.

y Fumes, moisture and dust will shorten the life of electronic parts. Do

not install your plasma display in the kitchen or bathroom.

y Install your plasma display with the lower edge level. Improper

installation of your plasma display, such as turning it on end, will cause
damage to electronic parts due to bad internal ventilation.

y Avoid displaying a still picture for a long time to extend the life of your

plasma display.

y Your plasma display must be installed by your dealer or technicians of

our authorized dealers; otherwise, you may not be eligible for our full
warranty service.

same as indicated. If you are not sure about the voltage of the power
source, contact your dealer or the local power company.

12 The plasma display is designed for use on a 3-prong power source. Connect

the plasma display only to a grounded power source. Ask a qualified
electrician to have your power outlet modified if it does not fit the plug. Do
not remove the grounding pin on the plug.

13. Plug in the power cord properly. Keep power cord out of passageway and
avoid heavy objects pressing on top. Fix the power cord properly at doors,
