Tips

Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. Do not rub the screen with chemically treated cloths.

Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.

When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.

Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and color fading.

Plasma display characteristics

This Plasma display is designed to be used at altitudes up to 6562 ft above sea level (and/or local air pressure equal or above

800 hPa). Operating this set at higher altitude (lower air pressure) is possible. However, at high altitudes (or local air pressure equal or below 800 hPa) the picture on this display may become unstable and picture performance can deteriorate. In addition, the plasma display may produce a humming sound in these conditions.

These possible adverse effects relate to the altitude and are common of all plasma displays. Once the set is brought below aprox 6562 ft (and/or local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) its function will most likely return to normal.

Note: Transportation at high altitudes has no negative effect on the set or picture performance.

How to dispose of batteries?

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many areas batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;

Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;

Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen. Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.
