DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of a sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING: • TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS MONITOR TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

• THE MONITOR SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE MONITOR.

NOTE:

• There are no user serviceable parts inside the monitor.

• Model and serial numbers are indicated on back side of the monitor.

CAUTION:

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly approved by YAMAHA could void the user's authority to operate the monitor.

POWER SOURCE

THIS MONITOR IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON 120 VOLTS 60Hz, ALTERNATING CURRENT. INSERT THE POWER CORD INTO A 120 VOLT 60Hz OUTLET.

How to view the monitor

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired. Please use it in a reasonably bright room. Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue. Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time. Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time. Please watch the monitor in downward direction.

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.(continued)

Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

How to clean the plasma display panel of the monitor

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma display panel face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

How to clean the cabinet of the monitor

Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When the plasma monitor is excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth. Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the international EMI standards. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers.

- Keep the monitor away from Radio.

- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.

- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.

- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor. If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned above.

ENGLISH

Precautions for the cable connection

- Do ensure that all connections, (including the power plug, extension leads and interconnections between the pieces of equipment), are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the power plug before making or changing connections.

- Confirm the connector is fixed tightly when the signal cable is connected. Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.

- Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other equipment, such as Radio etc..

- Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.

Precaution during transportation

Please pay attention when you transport this monitor because it is heavy. Furthermore, use the original carton box and its packaging materials when the monitor is transported. Failure to transport the monitor in any carton except the original carton may result in damage to the monitor. Save the original carton box and all packing material.

Do not physically impact the remote control.

A physical impact could cause damage or malfunction of the remote control.

• Take care not to drop the remote control.

• Do not place heavy objects on the remote control.
