Care of the screen
Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the
screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.
Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen).
Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois
soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the
screen causes deformations and color fading..
Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing
images that fill the screen.
How to dispose of batteries?
The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many areas
batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of batteries according
to local regulations.

End of life directives
Philips is paying a lot of attention to producing environmentally-friendly in green focal areas.Your new TV
contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At the end of its life specialized companies can dismantle
the discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimize the amount of materials to be disposed
of. Please ensure you dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.
Plasma display characteristics
This Plasma display is designed to be used at altitudes up to 6562 ft above sea level (and/or local air
pressure equal or above 800 hPa). Operating this set at higher altitude (lower air pressure) is possible.
However, at high altitudes (or local air pressure equal or below 800 hPa) the picture on this display may
become unstable and picture performance can deteriorate. In addition, the plasma display may produce a
humming sound in these conditions.
These possible adverse effects relate to the altitude and are common of all plasma displays. Once the set
is brought below aprox 6562 ft (and/or local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) its function will most
likely return to normal.
Note: Transportation at high altitudes has no negative effect on the set or picture performance.
