For safety, make sure to always connect the

power cable to a three pronged AC outlet.

TACHING A WALL MOUNT BRACKET (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The following is a description of the method for attaching a wall mount to the plasma display.

When performing this operation, refer to the instruction manual included with the wall mount

1Turn the plasma display over and place it

screen-first onto a table which has a soft cloth

draped over it.

Place the plasma display in a way so that the

stands hang over the edge of the table.

NOTE:

•Make sure to use a table which can support the

weight of the plasma display and is larger than the

plasma display.

• Make sure the table is in a stable location.

2Remove the stands from the plasma display.

Unscrew the M5 screws indicated by _C', and

remove the left and right stands.

NOTE:

• The screws and stands you have removed are nec-

essary for reattachment at a later date. Make sure

to keep them in a safe place.

AINTENANCE

Always unplug the plasma display from the AC

outlet before cleaning.

Clean the case of the plasma display with a soft

cloth which has been wet and wrung dry.

If the screen of the plasma display is dirty or

dusty, wipe it clean with a soft cloth.

NOTE:

Never use a solvent, alcohol or any other abrasive liq-

uid to clean the plasma display.

Always make sure the area around vents on the plas-

ma display is clear and clean. Failure to do this may

result in fire or cause the plasma display to fail prema-

tureljz

Preventing Image Burn on the plasma display

Fixed images displayed on the plasma display for an extended period of several hours may cause

uneven pixel aging causing damage to the plasma display. The screensaver mode helps reduce this

phenomenon, but in general you should try to avoid displaying fixed images for extended periods on

the plasma display.

Images of high luminance displayed on the plasma display for more than 60 seconds may cause lin-

gering images to remain on the screen. These images will automatically disappear, but may take

time depending on the luminance of the images and how long they were displayed on the screen.

T OUB'ES"OOT'"GGU'OE

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift,

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon

lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances,

Vertical stripes appear,

depending on the screen

contents.

,,GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some

other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may

improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the

antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to

the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.

Ghosting occurring when the plasma display is connected to a cable TV

system may indicate a bad cable wire or loose connection. Confirm that

the cable wire is properly connected.

`'SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of

small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to

install a special antenna to improve the picture.

Snowing occurring when the plasma display is connected to a cable TV

system may indicate a bad cable wire or loose connection. Confirm that

the cable wire is properly connected.

,,RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in

some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

`'PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS:

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This

is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers. If this monitor causes a

problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

- Keep the monitor away from Radio.

-Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive

interference.

-The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.

- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all

other equipment other than the monitor.

If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the

instructions mentioned above.

`'The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of

internal radiation. Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases this

may cause vertical stripes to appear because of failure to light. Please

note that this is not a malfunction.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

CHECK THESE ITEMS AND

TRY THESE CORRECTIONS

Be sure external connections are correct.

Be sure power cable is plugged in.

Be sure PANEL is power switched "ON".

Check for local interference

Adjust Contrast control

Adjust Bright control

Adjust Color control

Adjust Tint control

Adjust Volume control

Check batteries in Remote control

It is a characteristic of a Plasma Display.

About Interference to Infrared Devices

Please note in advance that using other infrared devices (such as infrared cordless headphones)

near the plasma display may cause infrared interference to occur.

About Pixel Defects

A plasma display is created by using a collection of miniature pixels. It is possible to display more

than 99.99% of valid pixels, however a small fraction of pixels over the life of the product may not

illuminate or may constantly be illuminated.

This is not to be considered a defect in the plasma panel.
