Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your Monitor. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other
injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your Monitor.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the Monitor and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the Monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions
can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the Monitor where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath
tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the Monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
table, or floor where it can fall. A falling Monitor can cause serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the Monitor. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. Move the Monitor and cart with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the
unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the Monitor. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the Monitor
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you
place the Monitor on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've
followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
• Operate your Monitor only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this Monitor is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched
by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the Monitor from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning
storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit
due to lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines
or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points
or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the Monitor.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the Monitor, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the Monitor yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug
the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the Monitor has been exposed to rain or water
- if the Monitor does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the Monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the Monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the Monitor to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this Monitor, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the Monitor is in a safe operating condition.
• The PDP can properly operate in less than temperature 0~40˚C and humidity 80%.
Do not use in a hot and humid place.

Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format Viewing
Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.The images displayed on them should primarily be
in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format,or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature,and constantly moving.Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen,such as the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming,should be limited to no more than 5%of the
total television viewing per week.
Additionally,viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays,station logos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be limited as described above
for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can
cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle,but permanent burned-in ghost
images in the PDP picture.To avoid this,vary the programming and images,and primarily display full screen moving images,not stationary patterns or dark bars.
On PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use these controls to view the different formats as a full
screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a
result of format selection and use,as well as other burned-in images,is not covered by your Samsung limited
warranty.

Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this Monitor) on the
plasma monitor panel for more than several minutes as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, refer to page 26 of this manual to
reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.
Cell Defect
The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9
percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
Atmospheric Pressure Condition : 0.8~1.1 atmospheric pressure
This condition is concerned with the height in which the PDP can normally operate. Be sure of this condition
when you use the PDP.
Warranty
Warranty Period: One year starting from the purchase of your Monitor.
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
