Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry,

humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire,
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from
direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power
supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
• Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force
or impact to the display panel.
This may cause damage resulting in injury,
• The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more
people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV
tipping or falling.
