2.Using commercially available wood screws, secure the set firmly in position.

NOTES: 1. Do not block the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display monitor or the AVC center. Blocking the ventilation holes might cause fire or defect.

2.The plasma television has two AC cords, one on the AVC center and the other on the Plasma Display monitor. In case of an abnormal symptom, unplug both AC cords.

3.If you purchased the wall mount bracket option, please ask for professional installer. Do not install by yourself.

Caution when moving the main unit

As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the two handgrips at the back for the 42”, and at the top and base on both sides of the 55” for stability. When moving the Display Monitor, lift the handles and the bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the speakers or the back cover when lifting.

ANTENNA

Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
