Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
Index of this chapter:
2.1 Warnings
Notes:
•
Only authorised persons should perform servicing of this
module.
•
When using/handling this unit, pay special attention to the
PDP Module: it should not be enforced into any other way
then next rules, warnings, and/or cautions.
•
"Warning"
indicates a hazard that may lead to death or
injury if the warning is ignored and the product is handled
incorrectly.
•
"Caution"
indicates a hazard that can lead to injury or
damage to property if the caution is ignored and the
product is handled incorrectly.
2.1
Warnings
1.
Do not touch the Signal and Power Connectors while this
product operates. Do not touch EMI ground part and Heat
Sink of Film Filter.
2.
Do not supply a voltage higher than specified to this
product. This may damage the product or can create
hazardous situations.
3.
Do not use this product in locations where the humidity is
extremely high, where it may be splashed with water, or
where flammable materials surround it. Do not install or
use the product in a location that does no satisfy specified
environmental conditions. This may damage the product or
can create hazardous situations.
4.
If a foreign substance (such as water, metal, or liquid) gets
inside the product, immediately turn "OFF" the power.
Continuing to use the product may cause electric shock or
can create hazardous situations.
5.
If the product emits smoke and abnormal smell, or makes
an abnormal sound, immediately turn "OFF" the power.
Continuing to use the product may cause electric shock or
can create hazardous situations.
6.
Do not (dis)connect the connector while power to the
product is "ON". It takes some time for the voltage to drop
to a sufficiently low level after the power has been turned
"OFF". Confirm that the voltage has dropped to a safe level
before (dis)connecting the connector.
7.
Do not pull out or insert the power cable from/to an outlet
with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.
8.
Do not damage or modify the power cable. It may cause
electric shock or can create hazardous situations.
9.
If the power cable is damaged, or if the connector is loose,
do not use the product, otherwise, this can lead to
hazardous situations or may cause electric shock.
10. If the power connector, or the connector of the power
cable, is dirty or dusty, wipe it with a dry cloth. Otherwise,
this can lead to hazardous situations.
11. The PDP module uses a high voltage (max. 450 V
DC
).
Keep the cautions concerning electric shock and do not
touch the device circuitry handling the PDP unit. And
because the capacitors of the device circuitry may remain
charged at the moment of Power "OFF", standing for 1
minute is required in order to touch the device circuitry.
12. Because the PDP module emits heat from the glass panel
part and the drive circuitry, the environmental temperature
must not be over 40 deg. C. The temperature of the glass
panel part is especially high owing to heat from internal
drive circuitry. And because the PDP module is driven by
high voltage, it must avoid conductive materials.
13. If inserting components or circuit boards in order to repair,
be sure to fix a lead line to the connector before soldering.
14. If inserting high-power resistors (metal-oxide film resistor
or metal film resistor) in order to repair, insert it 10 mm
away from a board.
15. During repairs, high voltage or high temperature
components must be put away from a lead line.
16. This is a cold chassis but you better use an isolation
transformer for safety during repairs. If repairing the
electricity source part, you MUST use the isolation
transformer.
17. Do not place an object on the glass surface of the display.
The glass may break or be scratched.
18. This product may be damaged if it is subjected to
excessive stresses (such as excessive voltage, current, or
temperature). The absolute maximum ratings specify the
limits of these stresses.
19. The recommended operating conditions are conditions in
which the normal operation of this product is guaranteed.
All the rated values of the electrical specifications are
guaranteed within these conditions. Always use the
product within the range of the recommended operating
conditions. Otherwise, the reliability of the product may be
degraded.
20. This product has a glass display surface. Design your
system so that excessive shock and load are not applied to
the glass. Exercise care that the vent at the corner of the
glass panel is not damaged. If the glass panel or vent is
damaged, the product is inoperable.
21. Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth or other
covering while power is supplied to the product.
22. Before turning on power to the product, check the wiring of
the product and confirm that the supply voltage is within the
rated voltage range. If the wiring is wrong or if a voltage
outside the rated range is applied, the product may
malfunction or be damaged.
23. Do not store this product in a location where temperature
and humidity are high. This may cause the product to
malfunction. Because this product uses a discharge
phenomenon, it may take time to light (operation may be
delayed) when the product is used after it has been stored
for a long time. In this case, it is recommended to light all
cells for about 2 hours (aging).
24. This product is made from various materials such as glass,
metal, and plastic. When discarding it, be sure to contact a
professional waste disposal operator.
25. If faults occur due to arbitrary modification or disassembly,
LG Electronics is not responsible for function, quality or
other items.
26. Use of the product with a combination of parameters,
conditions, or logic not specified in the specifications of this
product is not guaranteed. If intending to use the product in
such a way, be sure to consult LGE in advance.
27. Within the warranty period, general faults that occur due to
defects in components such as ICs will be rectified by LGE
without charge. However, IMAGE STICKING due to
misapplying the above provision (12), is not included in the
warranty. Repairs due to the other faults may be charged
for depending on responsibility for the faults.
28. While assembling the PDP module into a set, use the EMI
ground part of the Film Filter for grounding, BEFORE
removing the protective film, to prevent that static electricity
can damage the TCPs or boards
