• If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in re.
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
Do not burn or breakup batteries.
• Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reected light from your Plasma Display.
Cleaning and 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
