Safety Precautions  
WARNING  
Set up  
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.  
The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.  
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display.  
If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in  
fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized Service  
Center.  
Do not cover the ventilation holes.  
Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.  
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16(10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8  
(6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4(7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave  
a space of 3 15/16(10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 3/4(1.9 cm) or more at the rear.  
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that is easy to receive electromagnetic waves.  
It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.  
AC Power Supply Cord  
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50Hz/60Hz.  
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.  
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket  
plate is loose, they should not be used.  
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.  
Doing so may cause electric shocks.  
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug,  
not the cable.  
Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the  
power cable. Doing so may cause damages to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the  
cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.  
If the Plasma Display is not in use for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.  
If problems occur during use  
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma  
Display, unplug the power cord immediately.  
Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the  
Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly  
discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.  
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet  
becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.  
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.  
When using the Plasma Display  
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.  
Top of Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the  
ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object  
near the top of the display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation  
holes are blocked.  
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.  
Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric  
shock.  
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.  
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.  
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.  
Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire.  
Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.  
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.  
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma Display.  
Cleaning and maintenance  
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning  
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.  
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to  
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of  
the same type, until the surface is dry.  
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with  
volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be  
adversely affected.  
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this  
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.  
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display. If water droplets get  
inside the unit, operating problems may result.  
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the  
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods  
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.  
Note:  
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to  
remain on the Plasma Display.  
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Plasma Display panel  
Symptoms  
Check  
The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision  
technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture  
elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.  
Some parts of the screen do not  
light up.  
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can  
cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display.  
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext  
and images displayed in 4:3 mode.  
Note:  
After-images appear  
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use  
is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.  
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.  
Whirring sounds can be heard  
from the display unit.  
The display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal  
use.The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
