E-2PrecautionsPlease read this manual carefully before using your plasma monitorand keep the manual handy for future reference.CAUTIONRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPENCAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICSHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NOUSER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNEL.This symbol warns the user that uninsulatedvoltage within the unit may have sufficientmagnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, itis dangerous to make any kind of contact withany part inside of this unit.This symbol alerts the user that importantliterature concerning the operation andmaintenance of this unit has been included.Therefore, it should be read carefully in order toavoid any problems.WARNINGTO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSETHIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USETHIS UNIT’S POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORDRECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THEPRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROMOPENING THE CABINET AS THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGECOMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIEDSERVICE PERSONNEL.Warnings and Safety PrecautionThis plasma monitor is designed and manufactured to providelong, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than cleaningis required. Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaningprocedure” on the next page.The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements(cells) with more than 99.99 percent active cells. There maybe some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, readcarefully and observe the following instructions.To avoid shock and fire hazards:1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heatbuild-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit in a closedcabinet or shelves.If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequatespace at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. Ifthe monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will beactivated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens,turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. Ifthe room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, movethe monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to coolthe monitor. If the problem persists, contact your dealer forservice.2. Do not use this unit’s polarized plug with extension cords oroutlets 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 modifythe power cord.5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if the unitwill not be used over a long period.6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous highvoltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this waythe warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk ofelectric shock.7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The manufacturer isnot liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualifiedpersons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all serviceto authorized Service Centers.To avoid damage and prolong operating life:1. Use only with 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continuedoperation at line voltages greater than 100-240 Volts AC willshorten the life 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 heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects.In case of accident, unplug the power cord and have it servicedby an authorized Service Center.5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws onthe surface of the screen.6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommendedto use a trained, authorized dealer.7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRTmonitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease overthe life of a Plasma Display Panel.8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to placethe unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot spring bath.9. Do not use in a moving vehicle, as the unit could drop or toppleover and cause injuries.10.Do not place the unit on its side, upside-down or with the screenfacing up or down, to avoid combustion or electric shock.Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel area. Neveruse solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean these surfaces.2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner with asoft brush nozzle attachment.3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation areasmust be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning may benecessary depending on the environment in which the plasmamonitor is installed.Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasmadisplays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn undercertain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as thecontinuous display of a static image over a prolonged period oftime, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken.To protect your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere tothe following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing theoccurrence of image burn:* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver functionduring 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 down the monitor when you are finished using it.If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous operationtake the following measures to reduce the likelihood of phosphorburn:* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as possiblewithout 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 anddark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds.Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharplydefined borders between colors.* Note: Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that willbest suit your particular application needs.Important Information
