WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
POINTS ABOUT USAGE
• When installing this machine, use the optional desktop stand, wall-mounting unit, or ceiling mounting unit. Have
the installation done by your product dealer.
• When installing the display, refer to the installation manuals for the options. Further, be sure that the display does
not lean to the side or backward.
• Place the power cord and connection cables in a corner of the wall or floor so that they do not get caught on
anything
• For good heat dissipation, the Plasmavision requires at least the space shown in the figure below.
• The installation location must have an ambient temperature range of 0 °C – 40 °C.
See page 49 for optional parts.

Power lamp
• When mounting the Plasmavision vertically, make sure that the power lamp is at the lower right.
Notes
• Do not display the same picture (pattern) continuously for a long time. Doing so raises the brightness of the picture and may
cause after-images.
• Looking at the picture continuously for a long time can tire the eyes. View the display from a reasonable distance (about three
times the length of the screen).
If something is wrong with the Plasmavision internally, the built-in protection circuit will cut the power automatically. If so, the
power lamp will blink in red, indicating a malfunction.
• If the power lamp is blinking red, it is warning that something is wrong with the Plasmavision. There is a danger of fire or
electrical shock, so be certain to unplug the power cord and contact your product dealer. (See P52)
• The plasma display panel has been built using extremely precise and sophisticated technologies. More than 99.99% of its
pixels are effective. However, a minute number of pixels are missing or constantly lit.
• Do not install the Plasmavision where there will be interference between it and other AV equipment. (If interference from
electromagnetic waves causes jumbled images, noise or malfunctioning of the infrared remote control, change the installation
location.)
• When the display is installed vertically, only still images appears.

USING PC CARD
PC CARDS THAT CAN BE USED
Use a 5 V ATA card TYPE I-III that is a PCMCIA Rel. 2.0/JEIDA Ver. 4.0 or later, recommended by Fujitsu.
A PC card is not supplied. A recommended version must be purchased separately.
CAUTION
• Do not use a card that operates on 3.3 V, as this can cause operation problems.
• Certain PC cards (not recommended by Fujitsu) can damage the Plasmavision or the card.
PC card
This refers to the card standardized jointly by JEIDA and PCMCIA.
ATA
ATA is short for ATAttachment, which is the interface and protocol that the AT-compatible computer uses for access-
ing the hard disk.
JEIDA
JEIDA is short for the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. This organization has promulgated the
standardization of specifications for IC memory cards, and has settled on common specifications.
PCMCIA
PCMCIA is short for the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. This organization has devised
joint memory card standardization based on the common specifications of JEIDA. Currently, this activity covers not
only memory cards but all types of I/O cards. These cards are referred to as PC cards, and their standardization (PC
Card Standard) has been completed.
CAUTION
Using the PC card
• Do not bend the card or subject it to strong mechanical shocks.
• Do not use or store the card where static electricity or electrical noise can occur easily.
• Do not use or store the card in hot, humid, dusty or corrosive environments.
• Do not allow grime or foreign matter into the connectors.
• Do not allow the card to place near open flames or to be thrown into a fire, as this is dangerous.
• The card has a limited life. If it is used for a lengthy time, it may become impossible to record data on it.
• Do not touch the PC card or card with wet hands.
PC card and Data
• The customer or a third party may use the card wrongly or expose the card to static electricity or electrical
noise. The ensuing malfunctions or repairs may result in wiping out the data on the PC card or card. Keep
in mind that Fujitsu cannot be responsible for losses incurred because the PC card has been damaged
and recorded data wiped out.
• Do not turn off the power while the PC card is being accessed. Doing so can destroy data on the card.

the picture will be deformed with part of the edge not visible.
• In PC CARD mode, the wide screen is invoked.
