SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)
Precautions
ꢀꢀInstallation environment
Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of
obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.
Do not put the monitor in the following places.
ꢀ Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
ꢀ A place where the temperature is widely changing.
ꢀ Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
ꢀ Poor air ventilation place.
ꢀ Place near fire.
ꢀ A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.
ꢀ Place where you can trip over it.
ꢀ Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.
ꢀ Distorted or unstable places.
ꢀꢀHow to view the monitor.
If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.
Please use it in a reasonably bright room.
Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue.
Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long.
Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.
Please watch the monitor in downward direction.
ꢀꢀNote on Afterimages (Burn-in)
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite
illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor
would be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn into that part of the
screen as grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such burn-in are:
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images,
such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at
appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

Also confirm the screws on the connector are tightened.
- Plug the power cord of the monitor into a different socket from that for other
equipment, such as Radio etc..
- Use a plug with ground terminal and make sure that it connects to the ground.
✩✩Precautions for Radio
- Keep the monitor away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.

I When loading batteries, observe their correct polarities as marked on the
product. If loaded in the wrong direction, the batteries could explode or
leak, resulting in fires, physical injury, or stains.
CAUTIONS
I Do not drop or impact the remote controller.
I Do not splash the remote controller with water or put it on a wet object
to avoid possible failures.
I Before leaving the remote controller out of use for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries from it.
I If the remote controller begins to lack responsiveness, replace the
batteries.
TIPS
I Strong light such as direct sunlight impinging on the photoreceptor of
the remote control can cause operational failure. Position this unit to
avoid direct contact with such light.

✩✩Flicker causes stripes to move up and down
(during personal computer signal input).

When the vertical frequency of the personal
computer is lower than 75Hz, try increasing the
frequency (upper limit: 75Hz). This may improve
the situation in some cases.
✩✩The temperature of the display panel surface is
high.
The plasma display panel is lighting the
phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation.
In some cases, this may cause the temperature
of the panel surface to increase. Please note that
this is not a malfunction.
✩✩There are locations on the screen that are
different from the periphery (*).
*Points that do not light, points with brightness
different from that of the periphery, points with
color different from that of the periphery, etc.

High-precision technology is used to
manufacturing the plasma display panel but, in
some cases, there are minor defects in some
parts of the screen. Please note that this is not a
malfunction.
✩✩Vertical stripes appear, depending on the screen
contents.
The plasma display panel is lighting the
phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation.
Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases
this may cause vertical stripes to appear
because of failure to light. Please note that this is
not a malfunction.
✩✩Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL
display.( durning personal computer signal input)

A visual illusion may cause it. Adjusting the
phase will reduce the horizontal stripes.

✩ The type of video board or connecting cable used may not allow for correct displays Set
H.POSITION, V.POSITION, CLOCK and PHASE.
✩ The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical
frequency of 60 Hz or higher is input to it.
✩ The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and
the horizontal and vertical sync signal polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements
alike may be handled as the same signal.
✩ Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display)
can result in the interpolation of stripes. Take care that especially Full displays with a resolution of
1280 x 1024 can result in a completely black or white screen, depending on the pattern.
✩ Use of this monitor with the input signal timings specified below is recommended. A predefined
setting may not be reproduced correctly with an extremely long front porch or back porch or with an
extremely short data display time.
