■
Do not place your plasma TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.
■
Never place your plasma TV near or over a radiator or heat source.
■
Do not install your plasma TV in an enclosed area unless correct
ventilation is provided.
■ Your plasma TV should be operated from the type of power source
indicated on the label. If the type of available power is unknown, consult
your electrician or local power company.
■ Your plasma TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only
fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot
plug the power cord into the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter
the plug because this will defeat the safety feature.
■ Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord
near high traffic areas.
■ Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
■
Unplug your plasma TV and contact qualified service personnel if:
■
The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
■
Liquid has been spilled into your plasma TV.
■
Your plasma TV has been exposed to water or moisture.
■
Your plasma TV does not operate normally when the operating
instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of other controls
may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore your plasma TV to normal operation.
■
Your plasma TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
Avoid image burn-in
■ Displaying the same stationary images over an extended period of time,
such as a black bar, stock ticker, video game, or a shopping channel logo,
can leave a permanent ghost image (burn-in). Avoid burn-in by mixing
your viewing patterns. Do not show the same stationary image for more
than 15% of your total viewing time in any one week.
■ Your warranty does NOT cover screen burn-in.
