The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

ŶIf problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power cord immediately.

Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

CAUTION

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.

If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.

ŶWhen using the Plasma TV

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

ŶAC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, TH-50PX60U, TH-58PX60U) or on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-50PX60X). Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.

If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.

Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.

Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment.

Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step. (Young children should be made particularly aware of this caution.)

If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse, injury may result.

The TV will still consume some power as long as the power cord is inserted into the wall outlet.
