Important Information
*1 Only when using a graphic accelerator board that is capable of displaying 852480.
*2 Display only 400 lines with the screen center of the vertical orientation located at the center.
*3 The picture is displayed in the original resolution. The picture will be compressed for other signals.
*4 Aspect ratio is 5:4. This signal is converted to a 600 dots480 lines signal.
*5 Normally the RGB select mode suite for the input signals is set automatically. If the picture is not displayed properly, set the RGB mode
prepared for the input signals listed in the table above.
*6 To connect the monitor to Macintosh computer, use the monitor adapter (D-Sub 15-pin) to your computer's video port.
*7 Other screen modes (ZOOM and STADIUM) are available as well.
*8 When viewing a moving picture at a vertical frequency greater than 65Hz, the picture may sometimes be unstable (jumpy). If this occurs,
please set the refresh rate of the external equipment to 60Hz.
Toview 480I@60Hz (480 interlaced lines, 60Hzrefresh rate) or 576I@50Hz (567 interlaced lines, 50Hz refresh rate) when sync polarity
is “Sync on Green”, set “RGB SELECT”to “MOTION”.
*9 CVT standard compliant.
NOTE:
•Whilethe input signals comply with theresolutionlisted inthe table above, you may haveto adjust the position and sizeof the
picture or the fine picture because of errors in synchronization of your computer.
•Thismonitorhas aresolutionof 853dots  480lines.It isrecommendedthat the inputsignal beVGA,wide VGAorequivalent.
•With digital input some signals are not accepted.
•The sync may be disturbed when a nonstandard signal other than the aforementioned is input.
•If you are connecting a composite sync signal, use the HD terminal.
What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for
preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
Ifyou areunableto view materialviathe DVIinput,this doesnotnecessarily mean thePDPisnotfunctioningproperly.With theimplementation
of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCPand might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the
HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

NOTE:
Whenyouconnecta computertothismonitor,use anRGB
cable including the ferrite core on both ends of the cable.
And regarding DVI and power cable, attach the supplied
ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory CE or C-Tick standards.
Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not
supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied).
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.
Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the
DVI cable.

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.

Warnings and Safety Precaution
Thisplasmamonitorisdesignedandmanufacturedtoprovide
long,trouble-freeservice.Nomaintenanceotherthancleaning
isrequired. Pleasesee the section“Plasma monitor cleaning
procedure” on the next page.
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 installtheunit in anenclosure,make sure thereisadequate
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
theroomwherethemonitor is installed is particularly hot, move
themonitor to a cooler location, andwait 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
personsattemptserviceoropenthe back cover.Referallservice
to authorized Service Centers.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Useonlywith 100-240V50/60HzACpower supply. Continued
operation at line voltages greater than 100-240 Volts AC will
shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.
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. Protecttheinside of theunitfrom liquidsandsmallmetal 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. Forcorrectinstallation and mountingitisstrongly recommended
to use a trained, authorized dealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT
monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over
the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
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, upside-down or with the screen
facing up or down, to avoid combustion or electric shock.
Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:
1. Useasoftdry cloth to cleanthefrontpanel 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 phosphor burn-in:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma
displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn
under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such
as the continuous display of a staticimageoveraprolonged period
of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not
taken. To protect your investment in this plasma monitor, please
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for
minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
* 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 likelihoodof phosphor
burn:
* 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 photo-realistic images).
* 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.
* Note: Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that will
best suit your particular application needs.
