Cleaning  
Inserting the batteries in the remote  
control unit  
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of  
this unit. The recommended way to clean the display and  
related parts is described below.  
While pressing dow n  
lightly, slide in the  
direction of the arrow.  
Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from  
the power outlet.  
Cleaning the display panel body and rem ote  
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.  
Tw o AA (R6)  
batteries  
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.  
When handling the rem ote control unit  
Cleaning the screen  
Do not drop or shake the remote control.  
After dusting, wipe the screen gently using the supplied  
cleaning cloth or a soft cloth. Do not use tissue or a rough  
cloth. As the surface of the screen is easily scratched, do  
not rub it or hit it with a hard object.  
Do not use the remote control unit in a location subject to  
direct sunlight, heat radiation from a heater, or in a place  
subject to excessive humidity.  
When the remote control units batteries begin to wear out,  
the operable distance will gradually become shorter. When this  
occurs, replace all batteries with new ones as soon as  
possible.  
Cleaning the vents  
As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a  
month to clean the vents on the rear panel of the display  
of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest  
setting when doing this).  
Using the unit without cleaning it of dust will cause the  
internal temperature to increase, resulting in possible  
breakdown or fire.  
CAUTION  
Insert batteries so that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides are  
aligned according to the markings in the battery case.  
Do not mix new batteries with used ones.  
The voltage of batteries may differ even if they are the same  
shape. Please do not mix different kinds of batteries together.  
When not using the remote control unit for a long period of  
time (1 month or more), remove the batteries from the remote  
control unit to prevent leaking of battery fluid. If battery liquid  
has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the case until all  
liquid is removed, and then insert new batteries.  
Vents

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 panel’s 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 this units panels and circuitry, the revolving  
speed of the interval fan will be automatically increased in order  
to cool the inside of the unit when the surrounding temperature  
exceeds 40 °C. (The sound of the fan will become louder at this  
time). Please operate this unit in a location with a surrounding  
temperature under 40 °C.  
This function starts approximately 5 minutes after the  
power has been turned on or after input has been  
switched.

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.

Avoid displaying the same images continuously over a long  
period of time with the Plasma Display. When images of  
the same pattern are displayed continuously for several  
hours or displayed for a short period of time every day,  
after-images may remain on the screen due to the sticking  
of the fluorescent materials. In this case, these images
