This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable

antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February 17,

programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still

broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older

television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue [o receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-

free cloth.

_ If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted

by 1O0 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the

display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

_ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile

substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

® If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap solution and then wring the cloth dry.

Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

® Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV.

If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

® Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface

may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made

from rubber or PVC.

® Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to

which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface

coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

_ Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term

contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
