General Safety Precautions

Installation

 Keep the product away from any heating devices. Placing it close to a heating device may cause fire.

 Keep the power cord away from any heating devices. A melted coating may cause fire or electrical shock.

 Place the antenna as far away as possible from any high-voltage cables.

Touching the high voltage wiring may cause fire or electrical shock.

 Do not install the product in oily, smoky or humid (or exposed to rain/water) places or automobiles. This may cause fire.

 The connection between the external antenna and the internal wiring should be turned inside to avoid any inflow of rain. Exposing the PDP to water (rain) will cause electrical shock or fire.

 Do not use the product in humid places. Humidity will shorten the life of the product and may cause an electrical shortage or fire.

 Do not use the product in places with low temperatures (below 5°C).

 Avoid installing the product in poorly ventilated places. Internal overheating may cause an electrical shortage and fire.

 Be sure not to cover the ventilator (with a table-cloth or curtain, etc.). Internal overheating may cause an electrical shortage and fire.

 Do not install the product in an unstable place or on a small stand. The product may cause serious injury, if it falls on somebody (especially children). Install it on an even, stable place as it is front-heavy.

 Do not install the product on the floor. Someone (especially children) may trip over it.

Cleaning

 Regular clean the product (at least once a year) according to the advice of the

Customer Service. Leaving dust inside the product for an extended time may cause fire or malfunction.

 When not using the product for an extended time period, unplug the power cord.

Dust over or inside the PDP may cause electrical shock, leakage or even fire from possible heat generation.

 When cleaning the product, unplug the power cord and use only a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use chemicals like wax, benzene, alcohol, thinners, aroma, lubricator or cleanser.

 Do not wipe over the screen with your nails or any sharp-edged objects. This will scratch the surface.
