Safety Precautions and Maintenance Safety Precautions and Maintenance FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING THE MONITOR: The plasma display's panel is made up of fine picture elements (cells), of which more than 99.99 percent are active cells. Some cells may not produce light or remain constantly lit. For safe operation and to avoid damaging the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions. • DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no userserviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. The manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. • Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water. • Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure. • Do not bend, crimp or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire. • Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor. • Do not use in a moving vehicle, as the unit could drop or topple over and cause injuries. • The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet that is easily accessible. • This equipment shall be connected to a MAIN outlet with a protective earth-ground connection. Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors. • Do not use this unit's polarized plug with an extension cord or with outlets unless the prongs can be inserted fully. • The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F 3G 1mm2 should be used in Europe) • In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (13A) fuse installed for use with this monitor. • Use only with 100 V to 240 V 50 Hz/60 Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 100 V to 240 V AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard. English-3 • Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or when the unit will not be in use for a long period. • Do not use monitor in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas. • Do not cover vent on monitor. • Clean plasma ventilation areas using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle attachment. • To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning 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. • Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor. • Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting. • 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. • To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot spring bath. CAUTION Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: • When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. • If liquid has been spilled on, or objects have fallen into the monitor. • If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water. • If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged. • If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
