Safety Precautions
(Continued)
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen
(“Image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

To prevent the “Image retention”, the screen saver is
automatically activated after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 59)

Set up
Do not place the unit where it’s exposed to sunlight or other bright light (including reflections).
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce the remote control’s transmission range.
Notes
Handling the power supply cord
Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If
the power plug is loose, it could generate heat and
cause fire.)
Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a power socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This
may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord
may cause fire or electrical shock.)
• Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the
socket outlet.
• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the
cord near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug
body when disconnecting cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no
sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected
from the Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord
immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might
cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have
the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service Center.
Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is
strongly discouraged due to its high voltage.
If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV,
if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure
becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord
immediately.
A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire.
Contact an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which
can cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
Leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top,
left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
When using the pedestal, keep the space between
the bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand
surface clear from objects that may obstruct
ventilation.
When Moving the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the
Plasma TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage
the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution
before carrying out any cleaning.
Transport only in upright position.
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing
upright or downward may cause damage to the internal
circuitry.
Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power
supply cord and plug regularly.
Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause
a fire.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away
from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the
power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong
force or impact to the display panel.
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more
people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV
tipping or falling.
