Important Safety Instructions

Power source

This plasma television is designed to operate on 120 volts 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the power cord into a

120 volt 60 Hz outlet. The power cord is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the plasma television’s (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades and ground terminal can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Never connect the plasma television to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the specified voltage.

Caution

Never remove the back cover of the plasma television as this can expose you to very high voltages and other hazards. If the television does not operate properly,

unplug the plasma television and call your authorized dealer or service center.

Caution

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly approved by HITACHI could void the user’s warranty.

Note

•There are no user serviceable parts inside the plasma television.

Prevention of screen damages

Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can be permanently imprinted onto your TV screen. Such “SCREEN DAMAGES” constitute misuse and are NOT

COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.

If still images are left on the screen for more than 2.5 minutes, protection function will work automatically so that contrast reduces to minimize image retention on plasma display panel.

Please note that this is not a malfunction but it helps to minimize image retention.

The original contrast will restore after moving images are displayed for about 6 minutes. Original contrast can be restored quickly by turning power On/Off with remote control or power switch on unit.
