Use optional stands / mounts (p. 6).

Handling the mains plug and lead

Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause ﬁ re.)

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective

earthing connection.

Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)

Notes

Maintenance

Display panel

Cabinet

Mains plug

Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.

Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral

detergent by 100 times of water. Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.

Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.

Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.

Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to ﬁ re or electrical shock.)

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Caution

•

The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.

Do not tap or scratch the surface with your ﬁ ngernail or other hard object.

•

Use care not to subject the surface to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances

(this may degrade surface quality).

Caution

•

Use care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent.

(A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)

•

Use care not to subject surfaces to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances

(this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).

•

Do not allow the cabinet to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.

When TV will not be used for a

long time, remove the mains plug

This TV will still consume some power even

in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is

still connected to a live socket outlet.

Transporting the TV with its display panel

facing upright or downward may cause

damage to the internal circuitry.

Transport only in upright position

Electronic equipment

In particular, do not place video equipment near the

TV (electromagnetic interference may distort images

/ sound).

Equipment with an infrared sensor

This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect

operation of other equipment).

Keep the TV away from these equipment

If no signal is received and no operation is

performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the

TV will automatically go to standby mode.

Auto power standby function

Do not display a still picture for a long time

This causes the image to remain on the plasma

screen (“image retention”).

This is not considered a malfunction and is not

covered by the warranty.

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered

automatically after a few minutes if no signals are

sent or no operations are performed. (p. 44)
