• 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 would be degraded to such extent that still images would image retention 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.  
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.  
• How to clean the monitor.  
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the mains.  
When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.  
Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.  
Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.  
• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers  
This monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules (see page IV). 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 monitor  
- 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.

check the other components being used such as a video  
deck. If the problem can still not be solved please consult  
the dealer where this unit was purchased.  
Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from  
the power outlet.  
Cleaning the display panel body and remote  
control  
Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as  
benzine or thinner for cleaner. Use of such liquids may  
cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or  
remote control unit.  
Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft  
cloth. In the case of excessive dirt buildup, dampen a soft  
cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after  
wringing the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and  
then dry it with a dry soft cloth.

Additional Information  
Although this unit incorporates high precision technology  
in its design, please understand that there may be  
extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.  
About the plasma panel’s  
protection function  
The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly  
when an image with little movement such as a  
photograph or computer image is continuously displayed.  
This is caused by the plasma panels protection function  
which detects images with slight movement and  
automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display,  
and is not a malfunction.  
Note  
In order to protect the panel and internal circuitry, this display is  
provided with a cooling fan designed to turn on/off and change  
speed automatically in accordance with ambient temperature  
conditions (the fan sound will change in accordance with its  
speed).  
Additional cautions  
The screen-saver function begins operating when the  
display detects no or little screen movement for a period  
of about three minutes.  
If the power is automatically turned off during operation  
of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause.  
1 Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER  
OFF function set to ON? (page 20).  
CAUTION  
2 Is ambient temperature too high?  
Panel sticking and after-image lag  
3 The internal temperature has risen abnormally due to  
blocked cooling vents, overheating of internal  
electronic parts, or other factors.  
Displaying the same images such as still images for a  
long time may cause after-image lagging.  
This may occur in the following two cases.  
4 If the display is moved suddenly from a chilled  
location to a warm room, or if the room temperature  
rises suddenly, condensation may form on internal  
parts. To protect internal circuitry, the display is  
provided with a condensation detector that  
automatically disables power in event of internal  
condensation; in this case, allow the unit to dry  
thoroughly before using.  
If the power is automatically turned off for a reason  
other than the above reasons, there could be a  
malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from  
the power outlet and request repair from your nearest  
sales outlet.  
1.After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load  
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are  
displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may  
occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images  
remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images  
are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear  
depends on the luminance of the still images and the time  
they had been displayed.  
2.After-image (lag image) due to burning  
Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display  
continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is  
displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter  
periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image  
may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent  
materials. Such images may become less noticeable if  
moving images are later displayed, but they will not  
disappear completely.  
The plasma display panel of this unit is very bright and  
viewing it a close distance will cause eye strain.  
We recommend that you view the screen from a  
suitable distance (9.8 to 19.7 feet (3 to 6m)).  
STANDBY/ON indicator  
During operation of the Power Management function, the  
indicator will flash green at intervals of about 2 seconds  
(page 20). If the green light displays a flashing pattern  
other than the above, an error message is indicated.  
Consult any onscreen messages (page 27) and check  
ambient conditions (temperature, condensation, etc.) and  
respond accordingly (page 28-29).  
The power control function can be set to help prevent  
damage from screen burning (page 25).  
Note  
Special precautions must be employed when using  
the plasma display as a surveillance monitor or in  
other applications where a fixed image will be  
displayed for extended periods of time. Before using  
the monitor in such applications, consult your dealer  
for advice.  
If the problem persists, disconnect the power plug and  
consult your dealer or a service center.  
When STANDBY/ON is pressed to set the unit to the  
standby mode, the indicator will flash red for several  
seconds (page 16). Other than this, if the power turns off  
by itself, or refuses to turn on, or if the red indicator  
conditions flashing, a malfunction may be indicated.  
Immediately disconnect the power plug and consult your  
dealer or a service center.
