CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUT-
ING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPA-
NYING THIS UNIT.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit fully into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the manu-
facturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Ser-
vicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15. If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Selec-
tion 810-21 of the National Electrical Code provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrodes.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
17. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus."
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical."

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
· Handle the Plasma TV carefully when installing. Do
Not Drop.
· Locate the set away from heat, excessive dust, and
direct sunlight.
NOTE:
When the Plasma TV is not used for a long period of
time, dark dots may be observed. This is a charac-
teristic of the Plasma display. If this occurs, turn the
Plasma TV On and leave it on about one hour. These
dots will gradually disappear.
· Throughout the installation process, handling by more
than two people is recommended.
· When removing the feet, use a working space that is
larger than the screen size. The work surface must be
flat and covered with a soft cloth or blanket to protect
the screen surface.
· Before placing the Plasma TV face down, make sure
there are no objects under the screen. Leaving any
object may cause damage on the screen surface.

CLEANING THE PLASMA TV
The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly
maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays,
cleaning agents, solvents, and polishes will cause perma-
nent damage to the fine surface.
1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Plasma
TV.
2. Gently wipe the screen and cabinet with dry soft
cloth.
The screen is likely to be damaged if it is not maintained
properly. Do not use hard objects like a hard cloth or
paper. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
CARING FOR THE PLASMA TV
Do not bump or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
Do not display a still image on the screen for a long time.
Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part
of the panel. To prevent this symptom, use the "
Screen
Saver" function of the Plasma TV. See page 26.
There may be some tiny black points and/or blight points
on the Plasma Display Panel. These points are normal.
NOTES: Never
spray
liquids
on
the
screen.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substances to clean
the Plasma TV. These chemicals
may damage the cabinet finish.
