Class B digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of the cable
entry as practical.

OF TH[:
What is a Plasma TV ?
Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large screen
sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can be
thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and or
a series of fluorescent lamps.
How does it work?
Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state
is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to
produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These
phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray
Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common
computer monitors.
Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because
each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different col-
ors. This means that you get perfect images that are
easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.
160 °- Wide angle range of vision
Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This means
that the display is clear and visible to viewers any-
where in the room.
Wide Screen
The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.
Multimedia
Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for
conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The
Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC
and video images simultaneously.
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install
your plasma display in a variety of locations where
conventional TVs do not fit.
The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
Plasma TV screen
The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million
cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,
minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TV
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing
does not mean that this Plasma TV is defective. Thus
a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the
Plasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our pro-
duction technology minimizes these cell defects dur-
ing the manufacture and operation of this product.
Cooling Fan Noise (This feature is not available for all models.)
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer
to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the
Plasma TV is equipped with cooling fans to cool the
Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a cer-
tain level of noise could occur while the fans are
operating and cooling the Plasma TV.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on
the Plasma TV's efficiency or reliability. The noise
from these fans is normal during the operation of
this product. We hope you understand that a certain
level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and
is not sufficient cause for the Plasma TV to be
exchanged or returned.
FOR LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small "flicker" when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the moni-
tor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your fin-
ger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so
may produce some temporary distortion effects on
the screen.
On Disposal
a. The fluorescent lamp used in this product con-
tains a small amount of mercury.
b. Do not dispose of this product with general
household waste.
c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in
accordance to the regulations of your local

Insert the TV brackets (or eye-bolts) and bolts to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) on
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
