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 with 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 insect 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 has been added 
and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
• 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 and 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 Display.
•  If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get 
inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fi re or 
electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma 
Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, 
which can cause fi re or damage to the Plasma Display.
Transport only in upright position!
•  Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or 
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

 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.
