Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can 
also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly 
handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured 
with the highest priority on safety. However, improper use can 
result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential 
danger, please observe the following instructions when 
installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your 
safety and prolong the service life of your product, please read 
the following precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read 
and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and 
operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for 
future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the 
instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be 
followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet 
before cleaning the product. To clean the product, use the 
supplied cleaning cloth or other soft cloth (e.g., cotton, 
flannel). Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended 
by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can 
result in accidents.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, 
such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, 
swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, 
stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable 
base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious 
personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use 
only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by 
the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting 
the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware 
recommended by the manufacturer.
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be 
moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force 
and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from 
the cart.
10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet 
are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these 
vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause 
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not 
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar 
surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This 
product is not designed for built-in installation; do not 
place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase 
or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the 
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
11. Power source—This product must operate on a power 
source specified on the specification label. If you are not 
sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult 
your dealer or local power company.
12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed 
properly to prevent people from stepping on them or 
objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs 
and product.
13. The plasma Display used in this product is made of glass. 
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or 
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken 
glass pieces in case the plasma Display breaks.
14. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension 
cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
15.  Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into 
the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows 
in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric 
shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do 
not spill water or liquid on the product.
16. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. 
Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other 
dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person 
to perform servicing.
17. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug 
the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified 
service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when 
objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
e. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any 
noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the 
product needs servicing.
18. Replacement parts—In case the product needs 
replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses 
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those 
with the same characteristics and performance as the 
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, 
electric shock and/or other danger.
19. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, 
request the service technician to perform safety checks to 
ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
20. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on 
a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to 
the method recommended by the manufacturer.
21. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources 
such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat- 
generating products (including amplifiers).
22. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before installing 
the speakers (for PDP-6072HD/PDP-5072HD/PDP-
6071HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP-5070HD only).
23. Never expose the screen of the Plasma Display to a strong 
impact, for example, by hitting it. The screen may be 
broken, resulting in fire or personal injury.  
24. Do not expose the Plasma Display to direct sunlight for a 
long period of time. The optical characteristics of the front 
protection panel changes, resulting in discoloration or 
warp.
25. The Plasma Display weighs about 51.5 kg (113.6 lbs.) for the 
PDP-6072HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-6070HD, about 41.7 kg 
(92 lbs.) for the PDP-5072HD/PDP-5071HD/PDP-5070HD 
(including the stand and speaker) and about 31.5 kg (69.5 
lbs.) for the PDP-4272HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-4270HD 
(including the stand). Because it has small depth and is 
unstable, unpack, carry, and install the product with one 
more person at least and use the handles.
