9) Temperature and humidity
The installation site should conform to the following temperature and humidity conditions:
• Operating temperature range: 0 to 40 °C (Depending somewhat on installation conditions, see descriptions of
special installations and methods for installation of the standard metal fixture.)
• Operating humidity range: relative humidity 20% to 80%
• Storage temperature (Packege state): –10 to 45 °C
• Storage humidity (Packege state): relative humidity 20% to 90%
• Operating environment air pressure: 0.8 - 1.1 atmospheres
We recommend against installing electronic equipment, including this display, in high-humidity environments. If
the display must be installed at a site subject to humid conditions, observe the following:
• Never install the machine in environments having humidity falling outside the specification range.
• Ground the equipment.
• Do not allow condensation to form on any display surface.
10) Condensation
One common problem encountered during winter is condensation, drops of water that form on display surfaces
when the ambient temperature rises suddenly. Such moisture may adversely affect the performance of the display.
If condensation is observed, turn off the machine for one hour before attempting to use it again. Another solution
is to raise the ambient temperature gradually, if possible.
11) Power requirements
The voltage range required to ensure specified performance is ±10% of the rated voltage. Keep in mind that high-
impedance power distributing wires will produce an effect equivalent to a voltage drop. Watch for the following
cases, and recheck power distribution.
• The voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display is significant.
• When the power to the machine is turned on and off, voltage fluctuations are large.
Estimate the power consumption of this machine as 400 VA plus a safety margin.
The inrush current when the machine is turned on is approximately 70 A <30 A>.

12) Coverage of the remote control
The display communicates with the remote control through weak infrared signals, which typically reflect off display
surroundings. The operating range of the remote is affected by the reflective characteristics of surrounding objects.
If the range of coverage appears to be unusually short, check the following:
• Do the walls and platform for the display have a mirror or white finish?
• Are there objects near the infrared-accepting section?
• Are the remote control batteries weak or dead?
Other devices using infrared remote control and wireless systems may not work properly if located close to the
infrared-emission source of the display. Consult your dealer before using such equipment near the display.
