This  product  is  designed  and  manufactured  to  operate  within  defined  design  limits,  and  misuse 
may  result  in  electric  shock  or  fire.  To  prevent  the  product  from  being  damaged,  the  following 
rules  should  be  observed  for  the  installation,  use  and  maintenance  of  the  product.  Read  the 
following safety instructions before operating the display.  Keep these instructions in a safe place 
for future reference. 

 

 

 

To  reduce  the  risk  of  electric  shock  or  component  damage,  switch  off  the  power  before  connecting  other  components  to  the  VP322 
HDTV10A. 

 

Unplug the power cord before cleaning the VP322 HDTV10A PLASMA. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the VP322 HDTV10A. Do 
not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners. 

 

Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility. 

 

When moving the  VP322  HDTV10A from  an area  of  low  temperature to  an area  of  high  temperature, condensation may form on  the 
housing. Do not turn on the VP322 HDTV10A immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or component damage. 

 

Do not place the VP322 HDTV10A on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the VP322 HDTV10A falls, it can injure a person and cause 
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the VP322 HDTV10A. 

 

A  distance  of  at  least  3  feet  should  be  maintained  between  the  VP322  HDTV10A  and  any  heat  source,  i.e.  radiator,  heater,  oven, 
amplifier etc.   Do not install the product close to smoke.  Operating the product close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric 
shock. 

 

Slots  and  openings  in  the  back  and  bottom  of  the  cabinet  are  provided  for  ventilation.  To  ensure  reliable  operation  of  the  VP322 
HDTV10A and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the VP322 HDTV10A in 
a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. 

 

Never push any object into the slot on the VP322 HDTV10A cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of the product. It could short 
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the VP322 HDTV10A. 

 

The VP322 HDTV10A should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of 
power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. 

 

The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more information, contact 
your dealer. 

 

The VP322 HDTV10A is equipped with a 

three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin.

 This plug will fit only 

into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire 
plug,  have  an  electrician  install  the  correct  outlet,  or  use  an  adapter  to  ground  the  appliance  safely. 

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

 

 

Appliance inlet (or AC inlet) is used as the disconnect device. 

 

Use  only  with  the  cart,  stand,  tripod,  bracket  or  table  specified  by  manufacturer,  or  sold  with  the 
apparatus.  When  a  cart  is  used,  use  caution  when  moving  the  cart/apparatus  combination  to  avoid 
injury from tip-over. 

 

                                                                                                                

 

The  lightning flash  with  arrowhead  symbol ,  within  an  equilateral triangle,  is  intended  to  alert  the  user  to the 
presence of not isolated dangerous voltage within the inside of the product that may be sufficient magnitude to 
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. 

 

The  exclamation  point  within an  equilateral triangle  is  intended to  alert the  user 

to 

the  presence  of  important  operating  and  servicing  instructions  in  the  literature 

accompanying the appliance. 

 

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

 

 

 

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. 

 

Only the marked power source can be used for the product.  Any power source other than the specified 
one may cause fire or electric shock. 

 

Do not touch the power cord during lightning.  To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms. 

 

Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the VP322 HDTV10A from 
damage due to power surges. 

 

Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high voltages, the risk 
of electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, please contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 

 

Keep the product away from moisture.  Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.  If water penetrates into the product, unplug 
the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock. 

 

Do not use the product if any abnormality occurs.  If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your 
dealer immediately.  Do not try to repair the product yourself. 

 

Avoid  using  dropped  or  damaged  appliances.    If  the  product  is  dropped  and  the  housing  is  damaged,  the  internal  components  may 
function abnormally.  Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair.  Continued use of the product may cause 
fire or electric shock. 

 

Do not install the product in an area with heavy dust or high humidity.  Operating the product in environments with heavy dust or high 
humidity may cause fire or electric shock. 

 

Follow instructions for moving the product.  Ensure that the power connector and any other cables are unplugged before moving the 
product. 

 

Hold the power connector when removing the power cable.  Pulling the power cable itself may damage the wires inside the cable and 
cause fire or electric shock.  When the product will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power connector. 

 

To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
