Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your PDP. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and

maintaining your machine.

Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your PDP.

Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

Heed all warnings on the PDP and in the operating instructions.

Follow all operating and use instructions.

Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.

Do not use the PDP where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.

Do not place the PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table, or floor where it can fall. A falling PDP can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the man- ufacturer or sold with the PDP. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the PDP and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.

Provide ventilation for the PDP. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the PDP on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. Do not place the PDP in a rack or bookcase.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.

Operate your PDP only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power com- pany.

Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this PDP is equipped with a polarized alter- nating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recepta- cles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.

Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PDP.

Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the PDP, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built- up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides infor- mation about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Do not attempt to service the PDP yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

-when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged

-if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit

-if the PDP has been exposed to rain or water

-if the PDP does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

-if the PDP has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

-when the PDP exhibits a distinct change in performance

If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instruc- tions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the PDP to normal.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu- tions may result in additional damage to the unit.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this PDP, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the PDP is in a safe operating condition.

The PDP can properly operate in a temperature range of 32~104°F(0~40°C) and 80% humidity. Do not use in a hot and humid place.

Before moving the PDP equipped with speakers, separate the speakers from the PDP. If you move the PDP with the speakers attached, it may result in damage or injury.
