Important !

◆ Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when
hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma monitor panel for more
than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”.
To avoid such image retention, 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.

◆ Height

The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might
abnormally function at a place over 2000m in height and do not
install and operate there.

◆ Warranty

-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
