Important information

Read and heed the notes on safety so that no hazard to your health arises during contractual use. Errors during
installation and connection can damage the device or subsequently related devices.
Always keep the operating instructions within reach. Heed the warnings on the device and in the operating
instructions.
• General reference
Before you connect the plasma display, please carefully
read throught the general notes on safety and the
operating instructions. Only in this manner can you
utilise all functions safely and reliably.
As far as possible, keep the operating instructions
together with the device so that you can use it to look
up information.
Heed the warnings on the device and in the operating
instructions.
Never allow children to utilise electrical devices without
supervision.
• Operation
The plasma TV acquired by you, meets the highest
quality codes and standards to be found in this
business segment. A plasma display consists of a
multitude of so called pixels. One pixel consists
of 3 elements (red, green and blue). Even using
the highest quality control practices during the
manufacture of the displays, it can not be 100 %
excluded that some pixels or pixel elements will
be defective. These defects may appear as
permanent illuminated pixels, non illuminating
pixels or unstable pixels (flickering) respectively.
We therefore ask for your understanding when
we declare that these defects are not covered
under the warranty liability. This is valid insofar
that the sum of all defective pixels or pixel elements
does not exceed 0,01 % of the total amount.
The brightness and contrast of plasma displays
decreases with time.
Plasma displays are phosphor based and under
certain operating conditions, so-called "Burn-
In" effect may occur. This is in fact a degrigation
of the phosphor and is a natural process in plasma
technology.
Such operating conditions are:
- static images being displayed for long periods
- continues display of the same background
- use of a non full screen format (e.g. 4:3) for a long
periods.
Once Burn-In has occurred it is normally irreversible.
To avoid or to reduce the Burn-In effect, please
follow the listed recommendations:
- Please use moving images or continuous moving
static images in full screen format (slide show)
during the first 100 hours of operation
- Please use your plasma TV in a full screen format
(16:9)
- In case the plasma display is used as a PC monitor,
please use moving images
- Always switch the screen off, if it is not in use
- Decrease contrast and brightness as much as
possible
- If possible display images with maximum colour
depth and scale
Certain conditions may cause a humming noise in the
displays electonics. This is usually caused by the mains
power supply having different ground wires. One
remedy for solving this problem is to insert a filter
between antenna cable and antenna input. These filters
are available at all specialised trade outlets.
If the plasma display is connected to an external
antenna, it has to be grounded to protect against
electrical hazards and static discharges. The grounding
must conform and be in accordance with the actual
regulations in force.
• Environmental conditions
Never operate the plasma display under
environmental conditions which differ from those
of the technical data. Divergent conditions can lead
to endangerment, fire or breakdown of the device.
Protect the plasma display against moisture. This
pertains to permanent high humidity, the proximity
ta water, water drops and water splashes as well
as rain. Do not place any water-filled containers
(e.g. vases) on the device.
Protect the device against heat. Avoid the proximity,
to fire, heating devices, ovens or permanent exposure
to direct sunlight.
Protect the display against heat accumulation. Do
not cover the ventilation slots. Maintain a distance
of at least 10 cm above and below the ventilation
from sides 4 cm from rear 4 cm slots as well as
laterally to furniture and to the ceiling. Do not furnish
the device with curtains.
The display is designed for mounting in landscape
format on walls or installations.
• Mains connection
The mains input and the mains switch are located
on the rear side. The mains input is located on the
upper right and the mains switch is placed in the
upper middle. For safe disconnection of the display
from the mains voltage, the mains switch is to be
turned off and the mains cable is to be removed
from the mains input module.
Connect the plasma display only to a socket with
earthing contacts installed according to regulations,
and whose main voltage conforms with the device's
technical data. See to it that the mains plug and
the socket are accessible at all times. Install the
mains cable in such a fashion that nobody can get
caught in it. Use only the supplied mains cable.
Protect it against damages, and do not make any
alterations to it. Never use a damaged mains cable.
