◆ Do not expose the PDP to extreme temperature conditions or to extreme humidity conditions.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to any liquids.

◆ Never put objects of any kind into the television, and do not place a water-containing vessel on the

PDP.

◆ During a storm conditions (especially when there is lightning) unplug the PDP from the mains socket and aerial.

◆ Do not step on or twist the power cord.

◆ Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

◆ Please use a soft and dry cloth (not containing volatile matter) when you clean the PDP.

◆ If the PDP is broken, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.

◆ If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a

User Instructions

◆ 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 Period: One year starting from the purchase of your PDP.

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

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

1 Check for the stability of the wall where the PDP is to be installed. If the wall is not enough strong to

support the PDP, strengthen the wall before installation.

2 Fix the wall attachment panel on the

wall using bolts as shown in the figure: Fixing bolts must protrude from the wall appox. 1.5cm.

3 Using the wall attachment panel, you may adjust the angle of the display from 0 to 20 degrees. The

angle can be set in 5 stages with 5 degrees of distance each using the angle control holes on the sides of the panel.

When the angle has been set to 5 degrees.

When the angle has been set to 15 degrees.

When the panel hasn't been tilted.

Insert the bolts, dish-type washers, and insulation rubber into the four screw-holes as shown in the figure:

5 Put the insulation rubber point

protruding from the rear top of the display in the groove on the top of the wall attachment panel. Lift up the display a little bit so that the insulation rubber point at the bottom of the rear side of the display is put to the groove at the bottom of the wall attachment panel. (Do not lift the display with any pressure. The insulation rubber at the top may be taken off.)

ENG

Separating the Display from the Wall Attachment Panel

Remove the fixing bolts from both sides (left and right) of the wall attachment panel. Lift and pull the bottom of the display a small amount, to separate the insulation rubber point from the bottom of the wall attachment panel.

Lift the display and separate the insulation rubber point from the groove on top of the wall attachment panel.

Before Connecting the Display to External Equipment

Carefully check the connectors for position and type before making any connections. Loose connectors can result in picture or color problems. Make sure that all connectors are securely inserted into their terminals.

Ferrite Cores

The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When connecting cables, attach one of these ferrite cores to the cable near the connector.

➢

When you connect the speaker wire, RCA cable and S-Video cable to the connectors, first bind round the ferrite core to secure it.

ENG

Connecting Speakers

Connect the speaker audio cable to the external speaker output jack on the rear of the PDP matching the “+” and “

” ends of the cable with the diagram on the PDP.

Connecting PDP and Speakers

Fix the bracket onto the guide pole located on the rear of speaker and fasten the screws. After removing the three screws on the PDP, clamp the speaker and the PDP together and fasten the screws.
