Additional Notes and
Cautions
Although this unit incorporates high precision technology
in its design, please understand that there may be
extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.
Note
In order to protect the panel and internal circuitry, this monitor is
provided with a cooling fan designed to turn on/off and change
speed automatically in accordance with ambient temperature
conditions (the fan sound will change in accordance with its
speed).
Additional cautions
• If the power is automatically turned off during operation
of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause.
1 Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER
OFF function set to ON? (page 31).
2 Is ambient temperature too high?
3 The internal temperature has risen abnormally due to
blocked cooling vents, overheating of internal
electronic parts, or other factors.
4 If the monitor is moved suddenly from a chilled
location to a warm room, or if the room temperature
rises suddenly, condensation may form on internal
parts. To protect internal circuitry, the monitor is
provided with a condensation detector that
automatically disables power in event of internal
condensation; in this case, allow the unit to dry
thoroughly before using.
If the power is automatically turned off for a reason
other than the above reasons, there could be a
malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from
the power outlet and request repair from your nearest
sales outlet.
• The plasma display panel of this unit is very bright and
viewing it a close distance will cause eye strain.
We recommend that you view the screen from a
suitable distance (9.8 to 19.7 feet (3 to 6m)).
STANDBY/ON indicator
During operation of the Power Management function, the
indicator will flash green at intervals of about 2 seconds
(page 31). If the green light displays a flashing pattern
other than the above, an error message is indicated.
Consult any onscreen messages (page 40) and check
ambient conditions (temperature, condensation, etc.) and
respond accordingly (page 41).
Additional Information
If the problem persists, disconnect the power plug and
consult your dealer or a service center.
When POWER is pressed on the front of the monitor to set
the unit to the standby mode, the indicator will flash red for
several seconds (page 27). Other than this, if the power
turns off by itself, or refuses to turn on, or if the red
indicator conditions flashing, a malfunction may be
indicated. Immediately disconnect the power plug and
consult your dealer or a service center.
About the plasma panel's
protection function
The brightness of this monitor will dim slightly when an
image with little movement such as a photograph or
computer image is continuously displayed. This is caused
by the plasma panel's protection function which detects
images with slight movement and automatically adjusts
brightness to protect the monitor, and is not a malfunction.
The screen-saver function begins operating when the
monitor detects no or little screen movement for a period of
about three minutes.
CAUTION
Image burn-in and after-image lag
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long
time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the
following two cases:
1. After-image (lag image) due to burning:
Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Monitor
continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is
displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods
of time over several days, a permanent after-image may
remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent
materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving
images are later displayed, but they will not disappear
completely.
2. After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load:
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are
displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may
occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images
remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images
are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear
depends on the luminance of the still images and the time
they had been displayed.
