◆Do not expose the PDP to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
◆Do not expose the PDP to any liquids.
◆Never put objects of any kind into the television, and do not place a water-containing vessel on the
PDP.
◆During a storm conditions (especially when there is lightning) unplug the PDP from the mains

User Instructions
◆Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the
plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of
brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.
◆Cell Defect
The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than
99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
◆Height
The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place
over 2000m in height and do not install and operate there.
◆Warranty
- Warranty Period: One year starting from the purchase of your PDP.
- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
