User Instructions
 Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP Display)
on the plasma PDP Display panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
 Height
The PDP Display can normally operate only under 2000m(6562 feet) in height. It might abnormally
function at a place over 2000m(6562 feet) in height, so do not install and operate there.
 Heat on the top of the PDP Display
The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel
through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.
 The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of surrounding
environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.
 Cell Defects
The PDP Display uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which
require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixels on
the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.
 Avoid operating the PDP Display at temperatures below 5°C(41°F)
 A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.
Watching the PDP Display in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by
the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen.
Damage caused by the above effects are not covered by the Warranty.
 After image on the Screen.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may
produce partial afterimages.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a long
time.
 Warranty
- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
 Installation
Be sure to contact an authorized service center when installing your PDP Display in a location with
heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity, chemical substances or where it will be operated
for 24 hours a day such as in an airport, train station etc.
Failure to do so may cause a serious damage to your PDP Display.
Installing the product in an airtight place may shorten the lifetime of the product.
