and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the
following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the
product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your
product, please read the following precautions carefully before using
the product.
1. Read instructions - All operating instructions must be read and
understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place - These safety and operating
instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3. Observe warnings - All warnings on the product and in the instructions
must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions - All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Cleaning - Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning
the product. To clean the product, use the supplied cleaning cloth or
other soft clothes (e.g., cotton, flannel). Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.
7. Water and moisture - Do not use the product near water, such as
bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and
in a wet basement.
8. Stand - Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or
table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product
to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the
product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the
product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with
utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface
can cause the product to fall from the cart.
10. Ventilation - The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed
for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since
insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of
the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product
is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an
enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation
is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
11. Power source - This product must operate on a power source specified
on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
12. Power cord protection - The power cords must be routed properly to
prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them.
Check the cords at the plugs and product.
13. The plasma television used in this product is made of glass. Therefore,
it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be
careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the plasma
television breaks.
14. Overloading - Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
15. Entering of objects and liquids - Never insert an object into the product
through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and
inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal
parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
16. Servicing - Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing
covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions.
Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
17. Repair - If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to
perform repairs.
a.

fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the
operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the
instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive
adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable
abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs
servicing.
18. Replacement parts - In case the product needs replacement parts,
make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and
performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result
in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
19. Safety checks - Upon completion of service or repair work, request the
service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product
is in proper operating condition.
20. Wall or ceiling mounting - When mounting the product on a wall or
ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method

for example, by hitting it. The screen may be broken, resulting in fire or
personal injury.

of time. The optical characteristics of the front protection panel
changes, resulting in discoloration or warp.
