This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any part inside of this unit.
This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included.
Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.
WARNINGTO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS UNIT’S POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THE PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM OPENING THE CABINET AS THERE ARE
This plasma monitor is designed and manufactured to provide long,
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells) with more than 99.99 percent active cells. There may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1.Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build- up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit in a closed cabinet or shelves.
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.
2.Do not use this unit’s polarized plug with extension cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.
3.Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4.Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.
5.Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if the unit will not be used over a long period.
6.Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.
7.Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.
8.This equipment shall be connected to a MAIN outlet with a protective
9.The outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1.Use only with
2.Handle the unit carefully when 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 power cord and have it serviced by an authorized 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 dealer.
7.As is the case with any
8.To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot spring bath.
9.Do not use in a moving vehicle, as the unit could drop or topple over and cause injuries.
10.Do not place the unit on its side,
Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:
1.Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel area. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean these surfaces.
2.Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle attachment.
3.To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation areas must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on the environment in which the plasma monitor is installed.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize image retention:
Like all
*Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver function during use with a computer input source.
*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 image retention:
*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
*Create image content with minimal contrast between light and dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.
*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined
borders between colors.
Plasma monitor driving sound
The panel of the Plasma monitor is composed of extremely fine pixels and these pixels emit light according to received video signals. This principle may cause you to hear a buzz or electrical hum coming from the Plasma monitor. Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient temperature of the Plasma monitor becomes high. You may hear the sound of the motor at that time.
Note:
The following items are not coverd by the warranty.
•Image retention
•Panel generated sound, examples: Fan motor noise, and electrical circuit humming /glass panel buzzing.
Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that will best suit your particular application needs.
