WARNING

Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference inwhich case the user will be required to correct

the interference at his own expense.

Warnings and Safety Precaution

The Toshiba plasma monitor is designed and

manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use

a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel

surface. The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells). Although Toshiba produces the plasma

display panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce

light or remain lit. For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,

read carefully and observe the following instructions.

To avoid shock and fire hazards:

i. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal

heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit in a closed cabinet or shelves.

The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your Toshiba dealer for

service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely

inserted.

3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug the unit during electrical storms or if the unit will not be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a

serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not a_empt to service or repair the unit. Toshiba is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer

all service to authorized Service Centers.

NOTE: When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach

the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards. Attaching the ferrite cores: Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied). Close the lid tightly until the clamps click. Use the band lo faslen the ferrite core (supplied) to the

DVI cable.

DVI cane (not supplied)

bend bend Connector

core (smell) core (smell)

Power cable (supplied)

core(large)

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

i. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.

ContianeA operation at linevoltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten thelife of the unit, and might even cause

a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.

3. Set the unit away from heal, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized Service Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a traiand,authorized dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor bum-in

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to

phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a

static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor bum if proper precautions are not taken. To protect

your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for

minimizing the occurrence of image bum:

* Always enable and use your computer's screen saver

function during use with a computer input source.

* Display a moving image whenever possible. * Change the position of the menu display from time to time.

* Always power clown the monitor when you are finished

using it.

If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous operation take the following measures to reduce the

likelihood of phosphor bum:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as

possible without impairing image readability.

* Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

* Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever

possible.

* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.
