Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your PDP. 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 PDP.

• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

• Heed all warnings on the PDP and in the operating instructions.

• Follow all operating and use instructions.

• Unplug the PDP 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 PDP 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 PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table, or floor where it
can fall. A falling PDP 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 PDP. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions when mounting the unit, and
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. Move the PDP 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 PDP. 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 PDP on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it
near a radiator or heat register. Do not place the PDP in a rack or bookcase.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s
instructions for mounting.

• Operate your PDP 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 PDP 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.

NP-42saiX_Eng(NTSC)_0223 2/24/05 1:19 PM Page 5

• Unplug the PDP 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 PDP.

• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the PDP,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up 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 PDP 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 PDP has been exposed to rain or water

- if the PDP does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

- if the PDP has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

- when the PDP 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 PDP 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 PDP, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the PDP is in a safe operating condition.

• The PDP can properly operate in a temperature range of 32~104°F(0~40°C) and 80%
humidity.
Do not use in a hot and humid place.

• Before moving the PDP equipped with speakers, separate the speakers from the PDP.
If you move the PDP with the speakers attached, it may result in damage or injury.

Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.The images displayed
on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format,or expanded to fill the
screen if your model offers this feature and the images are constantly moving. Displaying
stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on nonexpanded
standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than
5% of the total television viewing per week.

Additionally,viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video
game displays,station logos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be
limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed

the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle,but
permanent burned-in ghost images in the PDP picture.To avoid this,vary the
programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images,not
stationary patterns or dark bars. On PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use

these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven
PDP aging as a result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not
covered by your Your dealer limited warranty.

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 does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
