How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness” levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on adjusting picture settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

Please keep this notice with the instruction manual.
Safety
❑Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.
❑The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
❑If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet, unplug the projection TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further.
❑If you will not be using the projection TV for several days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
For details concerning safety precautions, see “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” on page 4.
Installing
❑To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation openings.
❑Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
❑Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).
❑If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the projection TV.
❑To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the projection TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.
