operating and servicing 
instructions are in the papers 
with the ap pli ance.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING  : To prevent damage which may result in  fi re or shock hazard, do not expose this apparatus to rain 
or mois ture.
    Do not place containers with water ( fl ower vase, cups, cosmetics, etc.) above the set. 
    (including on shelves above, etc.)
WARNING :  1)  To prevent electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to  qualifi ed service personnel.
    2)  Do not remove the grounding pin on the power plug. This apparatus is equipped with a three pin  grounding-type power plug. This plug will only  fi t a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety fea  ture. 
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electri\
cian.
      Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.
This video monitor is designed to display television content from a sepa\
rate TV tuner.  Full-power analog TV broadcasting 
in the United States will end (as required by law) on February 17, 200\
9, after which full-power TV broadcasts will be 
digital only. If this device is used after that date to record or display programmin\
g from a product with a TV tuner that 
relies on a TV antenna, that product would need to contain a digital tuner, or a TV Converter would be necessary to 
tune the digital signal received with a TV antenna. Analog TVs should continue to work as before for other purposes 
(e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, \
or playing video 
games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver or d\
irectly with this product, a signal splitter might 
be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an a\
ntenna. For more information, please see 
www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-FCC. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that 
may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check 
with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions abou\
t your cable or satellite set-top box.

ic Industrial Co., Ltd.)
   CAUTION
 
 When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the 
ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
• 
Top of the Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the 
high temperature of exhaust air being released through the

Safety Precautions / Maintenance
WARNING 
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning 
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
•  If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water \
or water in which  
neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and then wipe it evenly wi\
th a dry cloth of the same type until the surface 
is dry.
•  Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fi  ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become 
damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as ins\
ect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise 
the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. •  If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent h\
as been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cl\
oth.
• Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface \
of the Plasma Display. If water droplets get  inside the unit, operating problems may result.
•  Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents an\
d thinner, otherwise the quality of the cabinet  surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact 
with articles made from rubber or PVC.
Maintenance
 Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable 
surfaces. •  The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma

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, and also keep the 
space between the bottom of the display and the  fl oor 
surface. If using some other setting-up method, follow 
the manual of it.
 AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 110 - 127 
V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that 
provided with this unit. •  Doing so may cause  fi re or electric shocks.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated 
which could cause  fi re. If the plug is damaged or the 
wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. •  Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. 
When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, 
not the cable. •  Do not make any modifi  cations, place heavy objects on, 
place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully 
pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to 
the power cable which can cause  fi re or electric shock. 
If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at 
an Authorized Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period 
of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
 If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), 
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the 
Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately. • Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause  fi re or permanent damage to the unit. 
Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service 
Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized 
personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high 
voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, 
if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet 
becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug 
immediately. • A short may occur, which could cause  fi re.  Contact  an 
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be 
made.
