9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit fully into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
17. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus."

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Handle the Plasma TV carefully when installing. Do
Not Drop.
• Locate the set away from heat, excessive dust, and
direct sunlight.
NOTE: When the Plasma TV is not used for a long period of
time, dark dots may be observed. This is a characteristic of the Plasma display. If this occurs, turn the
Plasma TV On and leave it on about one hour. These
dots will gradually disappear.
• Throughout the installation process, handling by more
than two people is recommended.
• When removing the feet, use a working space that is
larger than the screen size. The work surface must be
flat and covered with a soft cloth or blanket to protect
the screen surface.
• Before placing the Plasma TV face down, make sure
there are no objects under the screen. Leaving any
object may cause damage on the screen surface.

CLEANING THE PLASMA TV
The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly
maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays,
cleaning agents, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the fine surface.
1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Plasma
TV.
2. Gently wipe the screen and cabinet with dry soft
cloth.
The screen is likely to be damaged if it is not maintained
properly. Do not use hard objects like a hard cloth or
paper. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
CARING FOR THE PLASMA TV
Do not bump or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
Do not display a still image on the screen for a long time.
Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part
of the panel. To prevent this symptom, use the “
Screen
Saver”
function of the Plasma TV. See page 26.
There may be some tiny black points and/or blight points
on the Plasma Display Panel. These points are normal.
NOTES: Never spray liquids on the
screen.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substances to clean
the Plasma TV. These chemicals
may damage the cabinet finish.

POSITIONING PRECAUTIONS
• Place this Plasma TV as indicated here. Failure to do so
may result in a fire hazard. Allowing the proper amount
of space at the top, sides, and rear of the Plasma TV
cabinet is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of
the unit. The dimensions shown here indicate the
minimum space required. If the Plasma TV is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these
minimum distances
must be
maintained.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the Plasma TV.
Heat build-up can reduce the life of your Plasma TV, and
can also be dangerous.
• If the Plasma TV is not to be used for an extended
period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.
