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.
• Do not plug/unplug the power cord when
your hands are wet. This may cause electric
shock.
