Do not obstruct a ventilation hole.
Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.
Do not put the monitor in the following places.
• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
• A place where the temperature is widely changing.
• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.
• Poor air ventilation place.
• Place near fire.

• How to view the monitor.
If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.

Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.
Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.
Please watch the monitor in downward direction.
• Note on image retention
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of
illumination, the brightness of the phosphor would be degraded to such extent that still images would image retention that part of the screen as
grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image retention are:
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for
long.
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time.
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.
• How to clean the monitor.
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the mains.
When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner.
Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with non-alcoholic or non-ammonia detergent.
Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.
