Important Information

Warnings and Safety Precaution

This plasma monitor is designed and

manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.

No maintenance other than cleaning is required.

Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaning

procedure” on the next page.

The plasma display panel consists of fine picture

elements (cells) 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:

1. 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.

 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  60 minutes to

cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your

dealer for service.

2. Do not use this unit’s 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 power cord 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 attempt to service or repair the unit. The

manufacturer 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.

English

En

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 100-240 V 50/60Hz AC power supply.

Continued operation at line voltages greater than 100-

240 Volts AC will shorten 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 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 trained, 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.

8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to

place the 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

topple over and cause injuries.

10. Do not place the unit on its side, upside-down or with the

screen facing up or down, to avoid combustion or electric

shock.

Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:

1. Use a wiping cloth (attached) or a soft dry cloth to clean

the front panel and bezel area. Never use solvents such as

alcohol or thinner to clean these surfaces.

2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner

with a soft brush nozzle attachment.

3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation

areas must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning

may be necessary depending on the environment in which

the plasma monitor is installed.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-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 burn 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 burn:

* 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 down 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 burn:

* 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.

*

Note:

 Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that

will best suit your particular application needs.

CAUTION:

WHEN POSITIONING THIS EQUIPMENT ENSURE THAT

THE MAINS PLUG AND SOCKET IS EASILY ACCES-

SIBLE.

NOTE:

When you connect a computer to this monitor, use an RGB

cable including the ferrite core on both ends of the cable.

And regarding DVI and power cable, attach the supplied

ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not

conform to mandatory CE or C-Tick 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 to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the

DVI cable.
