(5) The temperature of the glass of the display may rise to 80°C or more depending on the conditions of use.
If you touch the glass inadvertently, you may be burned.
(6) If glass surface of the display breaks or is scratched, do not touch the broken pieces or the scratches with
bare hands. You may be injured.
(7) PDP Module requires to be handled with care not to be touched with metal or hard materials, and must not
be stressed by heat or mechanical impact.
(8) There are some exposed components on the rear panel of this product. Touching these components may
cause an electric shock.
(9) When moving the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect all the cables. While moving the prod-
uct, watch your step. The product may be dropped or all, leading to injuries of electric shock.
(10) In order to protect static electricity due to C-MOS circuitry of the Drive part, wear a wrist band to protect static
electricity when handling.
(11) If cleaning the Panel, wipe it with a soft cloth moistened with water or a neutral detergent and squeezed, being
careful not to touch the connector part of the Panel. And don't use chemical materials like thinner or benzene.
(12) If this product is used as a display board to display a static image, "image sticking" occurs. This means that
the luminance of areas of the display that remain lit for a long time drops compared with luminance of areas
that are lit for a shorter time, causing uneven luminance across the display.
The degree to which this occurs is in proportion to the luminance at which the display is used. To prevent this
phenomenon, therefore, avoid static images as much as possible and design your system so that it is used
at a low luminance, by reducing signal level difference between bright area and less bright area through signal
processing.
(13) Because PDP Module emits heat from the Glass Panel part and the Drive circuitry, the environmental tem-
perature must not be over 40°C.
The temperature of the Glass Panel part is especially high owing to heat from internal Drive circuitry. And be-
cause the PDP Module is driven by high voltage, it must avoid conductive materials.
(14) If inserting components or circuit board in order to repair, be sure to fix a lead line to the connector before
soldering.
(15) If inserting high-power resistor (metal-oxide film resistor or metal film resistor) in order to repair, insert it as
10mm away as from a board.
(16) During repairs, high voltage or high temperature components must be put away from a lead line.
(17) This is a Cold Chassis but you had better use a cold transformer for safety during repairs. If repairing elec-
tricity source part, you must use the cold transformer.
(18) Do not place an object on the glass surface of the display. The glass may break or be scratched.
(19) This product may be damaged if it is subject to excessive stresses (such as excessive voltage, current, or
temperature). The absolute maximum ratings specify the limits of these stresses.
(20) The recommended operating conditions are conditions in which the normal operation of this product is guar-
anteed. All the rated values of the electrical specifications are guaranteed within these conditions.
Always use the product within the range of the recommended operating conditions. Otherwise, the reliability
of the product may be degraded.
(21) This product has a glass display surface. Design your system so that excessive shock and load are not ap-
plied to the glass. Exercise care that the vent at the corner of the glass panel is not damaged.
If the glass panel or vent is damaged, the product is inoperable.
(22) Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth or other covering while power is supplied to the product.
(23) Before turning on power to the product, check the wiring of the product and confirm that the supply voltage is
within the rated voltage range. If the wiring is wrong or if a voltage outside the rated range is applied, the prod-
uct may malfunction or be damaged.
(24) Do not store this product in a location where temperature and humidity are high. This may cause the product
to malfunction. Because this product uses a discharge phenomenon, it may take time to light (operation may
be delayed) when the product is used after it has been stored for a long time. In this case, it is recommended
to light all cells for about 2 hours (aging).
