PRECAUTIONS  
• Installation environment  
Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.  
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.  
Do not put the monitor in the following places.  
• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.  
• A place where the temperature is widely changing.  
• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.  
• Poor air ventilation place.  
• Place near fire.  
• A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.  
• Place where you can trip over it.  
• Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.  
• Distorted or unstable places.  
• 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.  
• 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 screen 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 screen 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 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.  
• 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.

Avoid radio interference.  
Any interfering radiation could cause distorted images or noises.  
• Avoid radio generator such as a mobile telephone, transceiver, etc. around the monitor.  
Set the sound volume at a suitable level.  
It is better to keep the volume level low and close the windows at night to protect the neighborhood environment.  
• Precautions for the installation

IMAGE RETENTION OF PLASMA DISPLAY  
There are different characteristics that result in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used.  
Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below.  
Image retention characteristics of a plasma display  
The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs due to partial phosphor degradation arising from partial character and figure  
display.  
For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is  
continuously displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor  
(Red,Green, Blue) that will degrade will be the color of the applicable character  
display portion. Consequently, when a white image is displayed on the entire  
screen as shown in Fig. a, the character marks displayed up to that time will  
become a color difference visible to the eye, but the phosphor will never burn.  
Fig. A  
Fig. a  
The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time.  
• The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters  
and figures are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of  
brightness, as shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of  
time, it becomes easier for image marks at locations when the brighter figures  
are displayed to be noticeable.  
Fig. B  
Fig. b  
The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention  
is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness.  
Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention  
• Lower the Contrast and Brightness settings of the plasma display as much as possible.  
A function is provided in the display that controls the brightness of the screen to reduce degradation of the panel. Using this function makes it  
possible to reduce image retention.  
(Refer to Panel Life (Extend 1.or Extend 2 shown on  
)
• Set the plasma monitor to an “Screen Wipe” or “Inverse” display.  
The occurrence of image retention when displaying images of identical patterns, such as static images, for long periods of time can be  
reduced by displaying a reversed color or completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display.  
(Settings can be made using Screen Wipe and Inverse of Function MENU shown on  
)
• Using in combination with moving images  
Since the degradation of the fluorescent material progresses comparatively uniform for moving images, the occurrence of partial image  
retention can be controlled. We recommend to use in combination with moving images such as a DVD.  
* Please be careful since image retention will occur if display is left in a two screen display state for a long period of time.  
* Television broadcasts include images displayed for long periods of time in which the left and right or top and bottom of the image are cut and  
broadcast station name or time are displayed for a long period of time at the same portion of the screen. Image retention in these portions can  
be expected to occur, so please be aware.  
NOTES  
About screen defects  
• High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but there may be dark spots (points that do not illuminate) and bright spots  
(points that are too bright) in some cases. These do not indicate a malfunction.  
About residual images  
• In some cases, residual images may remain after the short-term display of still images and another image is displayed, but these will  
disappear and return to normalcy. This is not a malfunction.  
About the panel screen  
• Plasma displays display images by means of electrical discharges inside the panel. Because of this, the temperature of the panel surface may  
rise in some cases.Also, plasma displays are made of finely processed glass. A reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface but  
avoid strong impact because there is still danger of glass breakage.

• The type of video board or connecting cable used may not allow for correct displays adjustment of Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Horizontal  
Clock and Clock Phase.  
• The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency of 85Hz or higher is input to it.  
• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal  
polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.  
• Displaying images with more than 480 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.

• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal  
polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.  
• Displaying images with more than 480 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.
