IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM

WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer. Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :

Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

Placing the monitor in a smoke, a highly humid, dusty place, oily soot or corrosive gas could result in fire or electrical shock.

• Do not place near the kitchen, a humidifier or other place where there is oil, smoke or humidity.

Avoid a high temperature environment.

The heat could have adverse influence on the monitor and other parts, and could result in transformation, melting or fire.

• Do not place the monitor, the remote control and other parts in direct sunlight or near a hot object such as heater, etc.

• Do not put the monitor in a place where the temperature is widely changing.

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.

ENGLISH

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.

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.

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