1.3 - Opening the Package

The VIZIO P42 is packaged in a carton together with other standard accessories. Any optional accessories are packed separately in another carton.

The weight of the Plasma Display is approximately 85 lbs. Due to the size and weight of the product, it is recommended that it be handled by a minimum of 2 persons.

The protective glass and the glass substrate are installed on the front of the product. Since both glasses can be easily scratched or broken, please handle the product gently. Never place the unit on a surface with the glass facing downwards unless it is on protective padding.

When opening the carton, check that the product is in good condition and that all standard accessories and items are included.

Save the original box and all packing materials for future shipping needs.

1.4 - Installation

Please read the user manual carefully before performing the installation.

The power consumption of the display is approximately 360 Watts for EDTV or 440 W for HDTV, significantly higher than a typical television. Please use the power cord designated for the product. When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be defeated.

The product should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. Space should be maintained between the back of the product and the wall for proper ventilation. See Section 3.2 - Preparing the Plasma for Wall Mounting, p. 25, for additional information.

Avoid installing the product in the kitchen, bathroom or other places with high humidity dust or smoke, so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.

Please ensure the product is installed with the screen in landscape orientation. Any 90° clockwise or counterclockwise installation may induce poor ventilation and subsequent component damage.

To protect the screen and avoid screen burn, do not keep a static picture displayed for a prolonged period of time. This can result in "image sticking" (see below for additional details) of the image and is not covered by the warranty.

1.4.1 - Image Sticking

The Plasma monitor illuminates phosphors to display images which have a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such an extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen. Displaying the same stationary patterns such as black bars, stock tickers, video games or shopping channel logos and pricing displays, over extended periods of time can leave this type of permanent image sticking. You can avoid this by mixing your viewing patterns. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of the total TV viewing in any one week.

NOTE: "Image Sticking" constitutes misuse and is NOT COVERED by the manufacturer's warranty.

For additional information, please refer to Section 3.4.2.7, page 31 for using the panel protection feature.
