damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, brack-
et, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Transporting Product
A product and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the product and cart combination to overturn.
9. Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product man-
ufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This prod-
uct should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book-
case or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manu-
facturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instruc-
tions.
12. Power-Cord Polarization
This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug,
a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into
the grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the grounding-type plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the prod-
uct, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up sta-
tic charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (U.S.A.),
ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the anten-
na or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due
to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as con-
tact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through open-
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the prod-
uct.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service tech-
nician has used replacement parts specified by the manufactur-
er or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
the product is in proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
(Continued from previous page)
The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The PDP (Plasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell
defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several colored dots visible on the screen should be accept-
able. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defec-
tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology is
designed to minimize cell defects.
Cooling Fan Noise
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped
with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans
are operating and cooling the PDP.
This noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during
the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is
not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

- If required, adjust the monitor settings for Plug and Play functionally.
- If graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of both RGB1 INPUT
(PC/DTV INPUT) or RGB2 INPUT (DIGITAL RGB INPUT) to display the PC on the monitor.
If graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the monitor to either RGB1 or RGB2;
(the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the monitor.)
- The monitor perceives 640x480, 60Hz as DTV 480p based on the PC graphic card. In this case, change the screen scan-
ning rate for the graphic card.
- DOS mode may not work depending on video card if using a DVI-I cable.
- To see a normal picture, match the VGA mode and DVI signal (852x480, 848x480). (See page 20)
PC Setup
1. Turn on the PC and apply power to the Monitor.

Maintenance
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and
a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the
screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Monitor.
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.
If you leave your Monitor dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the
power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your
new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
