Mitsubishi Electronics PD-5010 manual To avoid damage and prolong operating life

NOTE:

When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards. Attaching the ferrite cores:

Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the MONITORLINK™ cable (not supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied).

Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.

Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the MONITORLINK cable.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1.Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.

2.Handle the unit carefully when handling and installing it and do not drop.

3.Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4.Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Service Center.

5.Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6.For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained, authorized Mitsubishi dealer.

7.Only use tabletop stands or wall-mount brackets that are designed specifically for this product.

8.As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize uneven phosphor aging:

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this Mitsubishi plasma monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing this type of damage:

*Always enable and use your computer’s video game or DVD player screen saver during use with these sources.

*Display a moving image whenever possible.

*Change the position of the menu display from time to time.

*Always power down the monitor when you are finished using it.

If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous operation, take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven phosphor aging:

*Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as possible without impairing image readability.

*Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

*Create image content with minimal contrast between light and dark areas. Use complementary or pastel colors whenever possible.

*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined borders between colors.
