NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON PLASMA DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on
your Plasma display for extended periods
of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or
images (including but not limited to PIP/
POP windows, closed captions, video
game patterns, TV station logos, stock
tickers, websites, and special formats that
do not use the entire screen) can become
permanently ingrained in the Plasma
display and cause subtle but permanent
ghost images. This type of damage is
NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
Note:
Make sure to insert the plug of each cord
securely.
WARNING:
• Do not connect this unit to power using
any other power cord. This could cause
fire, electric shock, or damage.
• Do not use with a voltage other than the
power voltage displayed. This could cause
fire, electric shock, or damage.
CAUTION:
• When this unit is not used for a long time
(e.g., if you are away on a trip), in the
interest of safety, be sure to unplug it from
the wall outlet.

your hands are wet. This may cause
electric shock.
• If you need to replace the supplied AC
