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 within the temperature range of 32~104˚F and humidity 80%.
Do not use in a hot and humid place. within the temperature range of
• Before moving the PDP equipped with speakers, separate the speakers from the PDP.
If you move the PDP holding the speakers, it may result in a detachment of the PDP and cause any
damage to the PDP and other personal injury.
