Do not cover the ventilation holes.

•Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause re or damage to the Plasma Display.

Transport only in upright position!

•Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 6.0” (15 cm) or more at the rear, and also keep the space between the bottom of the display and the oor surface.

When installing the Plasma Display vertically;

Turn down the power switch for the downward direction when you install the Plasma Display vertically.

And set “DISPLAY ORIENTATION” to “PORTRAIT” in SETUP menu. (see page 44)

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Make sure to use the dedicated wall outlet for this unit.

•Sharing it with other devices may cause excessive heat resulting in  re.

Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.

•If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause  re. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.

•Do not make any modications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause  re or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

If problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.

•Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause  re or permanent damage to the unit. Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

•A short may occur, which could cause  re. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

Maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

•If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

•Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with  ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

•If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

•Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

•Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
