- Do not coil or wind the power cord.

This may cause excessive heat resulting in a fire.

- Caution for 200 - 240V operation only

This equipment relies on the protective devices in the building installation for short - circuit and over - current protection. Refer to the following table for the suitable number and location of the protective devices which should be provided in the building installation.

INFORMATIVE EXAMPLES OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES IN SINGLE - PHASE EQUIPMENT OR SUB - ASSEMBLIES

Protection againstMinimum number of fuses or circuit - breaker polesLocation
Case A: Equipment to be connected to POWER SYSTEMS with earthed neutral reliably identified, except for Case C below.Earth faults 1Phase conductor

Case B: Equipment to be connected to any supply, including IT POWER SYSTEMS and supplies with reversible plugs, except for Case C below.Earth faults 2Both conductors
Overcurrent 1Either of the two conductors
Case C: Equipment to be connected to 3 - wire power systems with earthed neutral reliably identified.Earth faults 2Each phase conductor
Overcurrent 2Each phase conductor

Verify that the protective devices in the building installation meets the conditions in the table prior to installing the equipment.

- Remove the power cord for complete isolation!

For complete isolation from the mains, remove the power cord from the monitor or from the wall socket.

PRECAUTIONS

- Installation environment

Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.

Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.

Do not put the monitor in the following places.

  • Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
  • A place where the temperature is widely changing.
  • Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
  • Poor air ventilation place.
  • Place near fire.
  • A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.
  • Place where you can trip over it.
  • Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.
    Distorted or unstable places.

How to view the monitor.

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.

Please use it in a reasonably bright room.

Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue.

Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.

Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.

Please watch the monitor in downward direction.

Note on image retention

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 extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.

Tips to prevent such image retention are:

  • Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-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 controls.

- How to clean the monitor.

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the mains.

When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.

Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.

Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.

SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)

TIPSUsing a wide-screen monitor ·This monitor has a screen mode selection feature. If an incompatible screen mode is selected to play certain software, such as a TV program, the image would appear different from the original. Take this into consideration when making screen mode choices. ·Use of this monitor in its enlarged display mode with the wide feature enabled in coffee shops, hotels and other establishments for commercial or pubic viewing purposes could infringe on the copyright holder's right protected by Copyright Law. ·When a normal 4:3 image is displayed over the entire screen in the PANOR. mode, not the Wide mode, parts of the periphery of the image may disappear and/or appear distorted in some cases. Use the 4:3 mode to view images, which were created in 4:3 mode. This mode allows 4:3 content to be viewed without picture distortion.

The temperature of the display panel surface is high.The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. In some cases, this may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that this is not a malfunction.-
There are locations on the screen that are different from the periphery (*)Points that do not light, points with brightness different from that of the periphery, points with color different from that of the periphery, etc.High-precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma display panel, However in some cases, there are minor defects in some parts of the screen. Please note that this is not a malfunction.-
Vertical stripes appear, depending on the screen contents.The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation.

The display dims to make the picture invisible during special playback of a VCR (FF, REW).This condition may occur when the unit is connected to a VCR with component output, such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when it occurs, switch to composite output or S1 (S2) output).-
Flickering in the form of horizontal lines oscillating up and down.If the direct frequency from the computer is below 85Hz, try a higher frequency (upper limit 85Hz). There may be a slight attenuation of the current image.-
The fan motor is noisy.Use the fan that controls the temperature in the main body to lower the temperature of this unit. If the ambient temperature is high, the noise from the motor increases as the rotation speed increases. This is not a malfunction.-
The top of the monitor heats up.When used for long periods of time, the top of the monitor may heat up. This is not a malfunction.-
