Important Safety Information
4OWNER'S MANUAL
Follow all operating and use
instructions.
Do not use the Monitor where contact with or
immersion in water is a possibility, such as
near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines,
swimming pools, etc.
This plasma display
is designed to be
mounted horizontally
(wide viewing).
Any inquiry regarding
its vertical position
should be forwarded to
the manufacture
directly.
When installing the Monitor on a table, be careful
not to place the edge of its stand.
- This may cause the Monitor to fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
Monitor.
Unplug the Monitor from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Use
a damp cloth; do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners.
Never add any attachments and/or
equipment without approval of the
manufacturer. Such additions can
increase the risk of fire, electric
shock, or other personal injury.

OWNER'S MANUAL
Provide ventilation for the Monitor. The unit is designed
with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from
overheating. Do not block these openings with any object,
and do not place the Monitor on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat
register. If you place the Monitor on a rack or bookcase,
ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've
followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
Use only the accessory cord designed for this product
to prevent shock. The power supply voltage rating of
this product is AC100-240V, the power cord attached
conforms to the following power supply voltage. Use
only the power cord designated by our dealer to ensure
Safety and EMC.
When it is used by other power supply voltage, power
cable must be changed. Consult your product dealer.
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety,
this Monitor is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug having one blade wider than the other.
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet.
Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna
system should not be placed in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
be extremely careful to keep from touching the
power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can
be fatal.
Unplug the Monitor from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm
or when left unattended and unused for long periods
of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and power-line surges.
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be
routed so that they won't be walked on or pinched by
objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the unit.
Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information
6OWNER'S MANUAL
Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the Monitor, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about
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 electrode.
Do not overload the wall outlet or
extension cords. Overloading can
result in fire or electric shock.
Do not insert anything through the
openings in the unit, where they
can touch dangerous voltage points
or damage parts. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the Monitor.
Bend antenna cable between inside
and outside building to prevent rain
from flowing in.
- This may cause water damaged inside
the Monitor and could give an electric
shock.
Do not place an outside antenna in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits.
- This may cause an electric shock.
There should be enough distance between
an outside antenna and power lines to keep
the former from touching the latter even
when the antenna falls.
- This may cause an electric shock.
Do not attempt to service the Monitor yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
• if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
• if the Monitor has been exposed to rain or water
• if the Monitor does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
• if the Monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
• when the Monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance

OWNER'S MANUAL
When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or
those that have the same
characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may
result in additional damage to the
unit.
Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this Monitor, ask the
service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the
Monitor is in a safe operating
condition.
If you make adjustments yourself,
adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions.
Adjusting other controls may result in
damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the Monitor to
normal.
Only use the specified batteries.
- This make cause damaged the
Monitor or could give an electric
shock.
Do not place anything containing
liquid on top of the Monitor.
- This may cause a fire or could give an
electric shock.
In case of smoke or strange smell
from the Monitor, switch it off, unplug
it from the wall outlet and contact
your dealer or service center.
- This may cause a fire or could give an
electric shock.
The distance between eyes and
the screen should be about 5~7
times as long as diagonal length
of the screen.
- If not, eyes will strain.
When moving the Monitor
assembled with speakers do not
carry holding the speakers.
- This may cause the Monitor to fall,
causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the
Monitor.
Avoid having a fixed image remain
on the screen for a long period of
time. Typically a frozen still picture
from a VCR, 4:3 picture format or
if a CH label is present; the fixed
image may remain visible on the
screen.
