To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid
internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or
install the unit in a closed cabinet or shelves.
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure
there is adequate space at the top of the unit to
allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor
becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be
activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this
happens, turn off the power to the monitor and
unplug the power cord. If the room where the
monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the
monitor to cool for 60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer for
service.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result
in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To
protect your investment in this plasma monitor, please
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
