User Instructions

◆Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP Monitor) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

◆Height

The PDP Monitor can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place over 2000m in height so do not install and operate there.

◆Heat on the top of the PDP Monitor

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.

This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product. However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

◆The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.

A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

◆Cell Defects

The PDP Monitor uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

◆Avoid operating the PDP Monitor at temperatures below 5°C(41°F)

◆A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Monitor Panel

Watching the PDP Monitor in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.

Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen. Damage caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

◆Afterimage on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial afterimages.

To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a long time.

◆Warranty

-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

◆Installation

Be sure to contact an authorized service center, when installing your monitor in a location with heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity, chemical substance and where it operates for 24 hours such as the airport, the train station or etc.

Failure to do so may cause a serious damage to your monitor.

Installing the product in an airtight place may shorten the lifetime of the product.
