User Instructions

• Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game) on the plasma display 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, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

• Heat on the top of the Plasma TV

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.

This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.

However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

• The product is making a “cracking” noise.

A “cracking” noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

• Cell Defects

The PDP uses a panel consisting of 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

• Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

• A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effects to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

• After-images on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.

To prevent this effect, reduce the “brightness” and “contrast” when displaying still images for a long time.

• Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

• Caution

The glass screen of your PDP TV can break if you accidently drop the TV. Handle the TV with care.

When moving the TV, always have two or more people pick it up and carry it as a safety precaution. Do not lay the TV ﬂat on its face or back.

Your Samsung Plasma TV is a high quality television that has been carefully packaged to protect the integrity of its glass panel and component parts during shipment. It is, nonetheless, a fragile piece of electronics that requires careful handling. Refrain from putting undue stress on any part of the packaging when shipping or unpacking the TV. Use care when installing the TV. Avoid placing the TV in a location where it may be struck, exposed to sharp impacts, or fall. Panel breakage caused by a fall or impact strike is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

Securing the TV to the Wall

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do not hang on or destabilize the TV. Doing so may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer included with your TV. For added stability and safety, you can purchase and install the anti-fall device as described below.

To avoid the TV from falling

1. Put the screws into the clamps and ﬁrmly fasten them onto

the wall. Conﬁrm that the screws have been ﬁrmly installed onto the wall.

✎ You may need additional material such as an anchor

depending on the type of wall.

✎ Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not

supplied, please purchase these additionally.

2. Remove the screws from the centre back of the TV, put the screws into the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.

✎ Screw Specifications

3. Connect the clamps ﬁxed onto the TV and the clamps ﬁxed onto the wall with a strong string and then tie the string tightly.

✎ NOTE

• Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.

• It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps ﬁxed on the wall are equal to or lower than the clamps ﬁxed on the TV.

• Untie the string before moving the TV.

4. Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check connections for any sign of fatigue for failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.
