Safety Precaution
Before you use the Plasma Display Panel (PDP), be sure to read the following safety precautions, which
detail the proper operation of the PDP and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to users or
equipment.
• TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM DANGEROUS VOLTAGES, DO NOT REMOVE
THE FRONT OR BACK COVER. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE INSIDE. CONSULT
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE.
1. Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the product.
2. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future reference.
3. Unplug this product from the power outlet before cleaning it or performing any maintenance. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water, for instance, near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
5. Do not place this product on a slippery, slanted, or any other unstable surface. The product may
slide or fall, causing serious injury to people as well as serious damage to the product. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
product.
6. Move the product on a suitable cart or trolley, with care and caution. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
7. Do not use attachments or accessories not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may
cause safety hazards.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating; these openings must not be blocked or covered. Never
block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in an enclosed installation such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided, or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through its openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
10. Use a power source only with a power rating specified on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply in your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
11. This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, i.e., a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by removing the third pin.
12. Place and route the power supply cord such that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the cord near the power plugs,
convenience receptacles, and at the point where it exits from the product.
13. If an outdoor antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
14. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power surges.
15. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep them from touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
