FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
OPEN THE PACKAGE:
y The product is packaged in a carton together with other standard accessories. Any optional accessories shall
be packed separately in another carton.
y The weight of the Plasma Display is approx. 36 kg. Due to the size & weight of the product, it is recommend
that it is moved by a minimum of 2 people.
y The protective glass and the glass substrate are installed on the front of the product. Since both glasses can
be broken and scraped easily, move the product gently. Never place the unit with the glass facing downwards
unless it is protected with pads.
y When opening the carton, check that the product is in good condition and that all standard accessories and
items are included.
y Whenever possible, use the handles on the back of the Display for transport.
INSTALLATION:
y A specified technician from the distributor or authorised agent should always install the product, otherwise the
warranty may become void.
y The power consumption of this device is 320W ,always use the jack exclusively designed for this product. If
an extended line is required, please consult with your service agent.
y The product should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. The distance between the back of the
product and the wall should be maintained for proper ventilation.
y Avoid installing the product in the kitchen, bathroom or any other places with higher humidity so as not to
shorten the service life of the electronic components.
y Please ensure the product be installed horizontally, any 90° clockwise or counterclockwise installation may
induce poor ventilation and subsequent component damage.
y To protect the screen and avoid screen burn, do not hold on a static picture for a long time.

NOTICE:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
3. If the PDP monitor displays a fixed pattern on the screen for extended periods of time, it could make the
differences of brightness and chromaticity between fixed pattern area and other areas. This is because the
brightness of fixed pattern area becomes lower than the other areas due to degrading of the phosphor, but this
phenomenon is not failure.

WARNING
NOTES
Do not obstruct the Plasma Display’s ventilation holes. If the ventilation holes are covered, the heat sill build
up inside, and this could lead to fire. For example, do not install the Plasma Display in narrow spaces where
ventilation is poor, do not place covers over it, etc.
Do not install the Plasma Display neat air conditioner air outlets or in places where vibrations are strong.
Doing so could lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not install the Plasma Display in humid or dusty places or places exposed to soot or vapor (such as in
kitchens, near humidifiers, etc.). Doing so could lead to fire.
When installing the Plasma Display, leave sufficient space around it,
as shown in the diagram. Failure to do so could cause heat to build up inside, leading to fire.
Hold the Plasma Display securely when mounting the units on it. Failure to do so could cause the Plasma
Display to fall, resulting in injury.
When installing the Plasma Display on a stand with casters, be sure to block the casters, If the stand should
move, the Plasma Display could fall, resulting in injury.
The Plasma Display is heavy, so be sure to install in a stable place and take measures to prevent it from
tipping over and causing injury. The Plasma Display has a high center of gravity. It should be unpacked and
moved by a minimum of two people, holding it at the top and bottom. Failure to do so could cause the
Plasma Display to fall, resulting in injury.

NOTES
Avoid dusty or humid rooms and rooms filled with soot or cigarette smoke.
The Plasma Display’s screen could get dirty, resulting in poor picture quality.
Avoid places where the screen is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
If surrounding light should shine on the screen, the screen will appear white and be hard to see.
Do not install in places where the temperature is high or low.
Doing so could result in damage.
Additional fall prevention measures.
To protect the Plasma Display from tipping over due to earthquakes or shocks, fasten the two safety fittings to the screw
holes on the rear of the Plasma Display using the two safety fitting mount screws, then pass a commercially available
rope or chain through the fittings and secure the Plasma Display to a wall, pillar or other sturdy object using screws and
hooks. (Do not do this when using the separately sold ceiling mount unit or wall mount unit.) While moving the Plasma
Display, pay attention to the rope or chain that tags along the back of the Display.
Image Sticking:
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended
periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extend that stationary images would
burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image sticking are:
* Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or hi-contrast images, such as monochrome characters
and graphic patterns for long.
* Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to
move them using screen saver function.
* Turn down the contrast and brightness control.
Note:
Such “Image Sticking” constitute misuse are NOT COVERED by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not install the product close to smoke or moisture:
Fire or electric shock may be caused when the product is installed close to smoke or moisture.
Do not installed the product in an area with heavy dust or high humidity:
Fire or electric shock may be caused when the product is installed in a place with heavy dust or
high humidity.
Instructions for moving the product:
Ensure that the power connector and any other leads are unplugged before moving the product.
The power cable should be kept away from heat sources:
The heat produced by any heat source may melt the covering of the power cable.
Hold the power connector when removing the power cable:
Pulling the power cable itself may damage the wires inside the cable and cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not touch the connector with wet hands:
To avoid risk of electric shock.
Do not block or cover the vents:
Blocking the vents may cause overheating and fire.
Do not install the product in a place with little or no ventilation. Never cover the vents with
towels, blankets or dusters.

type power plug, this plug will only fit an earthing-type power outlet. This is a safety feature, if you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the earthing
plug.
8. Avoid overloading the power cord. Using extension cables or the cords of other appliances may cause
fire or electric shock.
9. If any of the following occurs please contact the qualified technician:
y The power supply or connector fails.
y Liquid sprays or any object drops into the Display.
y The Display is exposed to rain or other moisture.
y If the product doesn’t function properly, you can only follow the instructions of the user manual to
make adjustment. Any damage caused by improper adjustment would require even longer time for
qualified technician to repair it.
y The Display is dropped or damaged in any way.
