Safety Precautions
Cautions
Warnings
Power Supply
Do not use a damaged
power cord or plug or a
loose outlet.
Doing so may result in
fire or electric shock.
Do not plug several
devices into the same
outlet.
Doing so may cause
the outlet to overheat
and start a fire.
Insert the power plug
fully into the outlet.
A loose or improperly
inserted power plug
may result in fire.
Do not touch the power
plug with wet hands.
Doing so may result in
electric shock.
Be sure to ground the unit.
Failing to do so may lead to electric shock when a short circuit or overload occurs.
If necessary, install a ground fault circuit breaker. Never ground to a telephone line,
lightning rod, or metal gas pipe. (Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.)
Do not bend the power
cord excessively or place
heavy objects on it.
Doing so may result in
fire or electric shock.
Always unplug the unit
before cleaning.
Not doing so may
result in fire or electric
shock.
When disconnecting the
power cord from an AC
outlet, always grasp it by
the plug.
Pulling on the cord
can damage the
internal wire and may
result in fire.
The purpose of these precautions is to
ensure user safety and prevent property
damage.
Be sure to read and observe all safety
precautions.

Warnings
Installation
Warnings
Do not place the unit where it
is exposed to rain, excessive
moisture or grease.
Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock, malfunction,
or deformation.
Do not use or store flamm
able or combustible materials
near the unit.
Doing so may result in fire
or explosion.
Do not place the unit on an
unstable surface, such as a
wobbly stand or sloped table, or
on any surface whose area is
smaller than the bottom area of
the unit.
If a child climbs on the unit, it could
topple and fall onto the child,
resulting in serious injury to the
child or damage to the unit. Place
the unit on a flat stable surface
.
Do not place containers with
liquids such as flower vases,
soft drink cans, or medicine
bottles or small metallic objects
on top of the unit.
If liquid enters the unit or any
metal object falls into the unit,
it may result in short-circuit,
fire, or electric shock.
Do not place the unit in a
poorly ventilated enclosure,
such as a cabinet.
Doing so poses a serious
risk of fire.
Do not run power cords near
heat-producing appliances
such as radiators, stoves, or
irons.
The excessive heat could
melt the insulation and
expose live wires, resulting
in fire or electric shock.
Install the antenna away from
high-voltage power lines and
communication cables and
make sure it is installed
securely.
If the antenna touches a power
line, contact with the antenna
could result in fire, electric
shock, serious injury, or death.
Do not place a burning candle,
burning anti-mosquito incense,
or lighted cigarette on top of the
unit. Do not place the unit near
any heat source such as a
fireplace or space heater.
Doing so poses a serious
risk of fire.
Install the unit at an adeq-
uate distance from the
wall to ensure sufficient
ventilation.
If the temperature inside
the unit rises, it may res-
ultin fire.
Do not cover the unit with
a tablecloth, curtain, or
other material.
If the temperature inside
the unit rises, it may result
in fire.
Be sure to place the unit
on a level surface.
Form a drip loop where the
coaxial antenna cable enters
your building to prevent rainwater
from traveling along the cable
and coming in contact with the
antenna input terminal.
If rainwater finds its way inside
the unit, it may result in fire or
electric shock.
The following precautions are divided into "Warnings" and "Cautions".
Warning : Ignoring this precaution may result in death or serious injury.
Caution : Ignoring this precaution may result in injury or property damage.

Safety Precautions
Warnings
Cautions
Use and Maintenance
Do not insert any metal
objects, such as a screwdriver,
paper clip, or bent wire into
the ventilation openings or
A/V terminals.
Doing so poses a serious
risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not allow children to
climb or hang on the unit.
The unit could topple
over onto a child and
result in serious injury.
Never disassemble or modify
the unit in any way. Do not
attempt to service the unit
yourself.
Doing so may result in fire
or electric shock. If the unit
requires repair, contact the
service center.
Disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet
during an electrical storm.
Not doing so may result
in fire or electric shock.
When not using the unit for
long periods of time, discon-
nect the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Dust could accumulate over time
on the unit and cause it to
generate heat and ignite, or
deteriorate insulation, which in
turn may result in an electrical fire.
When removing the batteries
from the remote control, make
sure children do not swallow
them. Keep the batteries out
of the reach of infants and
children.
If a child has swallowed a
battery, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
If you notice any unusual
odors or smoke around the
unit, immediately disconnect
the unit from the outlet and
contact the service center.
Failure to do so may result
in fire or electric shock.
When moving the unit, be
sure to turn off the unit and
unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Moving the unit with the
power cord connected to the
outlet may cause damage to
the cord, resulting in fire or
electric shock.
Wipe off any moisture,
dirt, or dust on the power
plug pins with a clean dry
cloth.
Failure to do so may
result in fire or electric
shock.
Always use two or more
people to lift or move the
unit.
If the unit is dropped, it
could be damaged or
otherwise cause injury.
Always turn off the unit and
unplug the power cord when
cleaning the unit. Use a soft dry
cloth to clean the unit.
Never clean with industrial
strength polish, wax, benzene,
paint thinner, air freshener,
lubricant, detergent, or other
such chemicals. Also, do not
clean with a damp cloth.
It is advisable to clean the
interior of the unit at least once
a year. Contact the store of
purchase or service center for
information.
Continuing to use the unit
without cleaning off the dust
build-up inside it may result
in fire or electric shock.

Still image (immovable) screen may cause permanent damage to
PDP Monitor.
1. Lengthy display of still images from video games, banners, graphics and others may fatally damage
the screen.
2. When using Picture-In-Picture, permanent damage may occur if the sub-image screen stays on the
corner of screen for a long time.
3. When using the PDP Monitor in 4 : 3 formats with sidebars for a long period of time, it may cause
damage to the plasma panel. It is recommended that you use Wide(16 :9) or Panorama format.
(Image burn-in can be avoided by using "Panel Protection" function or a screen-saver. However,
once image burn-in occurs, it may not disappear completely. An image will be dimmed as the image
is displayed long time or repeatedly.)
Any damage to the PDP Monitor caused by improper usage (such as image burn-in) shall not be
covered by the warranty.
Defective pixels that can be seen on PDP Monitor screen.
(illuminated spots, bright spots, blind spot, blinking)
Generally, PDP Monitor consists of about 1.22 million pixels and having defective pixels is possible. A
PDP Monitor with a number of defective pixels below a certain number is not considered defective. The
limited number of defective pixels does not affect the performance or reliability of the PDP Monitor. The
standard of inspection regarding defective pixels is the same or better as the competitor's offering on
similar PDP Monitor. It is not subject to replacement or a refund. We will do our best to minimize the
defective pixel as best as we can.

The problem only occurs with DVI input when an abnormal signal is
issued during an authorization process for a High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) compatible device. While it may vary
depending on the actual device, the screen reverts to normal within a
short time (5-7 seconds).
The screen flickers in multi-screen
mode (PIP/PBP).
The problem occurs when both main and sub screens are supplied with
interlaced signals. Whilst an internal de-interlacer should remove any
trembling that occurs with interlaced signal input, either of the screens
can still tremble when both screens are input with interlaced signals,
because there is only one de-interlacer available.
