If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get
inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire
or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma
TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
AC Power Supply Cord
To prevent fire or electric shock:
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC,
60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will
go into the wall socket.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which
could cause a fire.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Do not do anything that might damage the power supply
cord.
When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the
plug, not the cord.
Handling the power supply cord
Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
•
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to
a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may
cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any power cord other than that provided with
this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may
cause fire or electrical shock.)
•

• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord
near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body
when disconnecting cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.
Radio waves
Do not place this TV in any medical institutions or
locations with medical devices.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the medical
devices and cause accidents due to the malfunction.

a cardiac pacemaker is implanted.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the operation of
the pacemaker.
Do not disassemble the RF remote control, Tuner Box or
Wireless Unit.
It may cause troubles such as difficulties in communication.
If Problems Occur During Use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause
a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated
by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its

Identifying Controls (Continued)
This TV uses a RF remote control.
The remote control is operable when it is not facing the Display Unit or Tuner Box.
As the radio waves reflect on walls or other obstacles, the remote control is operable even there are obstacles
between the remote control and the Tuner Box.
Transmission Range
Use the RF remote control within the range of 7 m from the TV tuner.
The range may be shortened if there are any obstacles or the surrounding environment or building structure affects
the transmission.
Interference from Other Devices
If the TV tuner is too close to another device, failures such as malfunction or slow remote control response may occur
due to the radio wave interference.
Keep the transmitter away from the following devices as much as possible:
Wireless LAN, Microwaves, Telephones, Other electric devices

Technical Information (Continued)
Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Display panel
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 100 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.
Cabinet
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 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.
Pedestal
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.)
Wireless Unit
Wipe the glossy surface of Transmitter and Receiver gently with the Cleaning cloth (included).
PC Input Terminals Connection
Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning frequency
of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
There is no need to use an adapter for computers with IBM PC/AT compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
The maximum resolution: 1,280 × 1,024
If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
