Important Information
» Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:
1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel area.
Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean these
surfaces.
2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner with a
soft brush nozzle attachment.

necessary depending on the environment in which the plasma
monitor is installed.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma
displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn
under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such
as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged
period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions
are not taken. To protect your investment in this plasma monitor,
please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver function
during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are nished using
it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous operation
take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of phosphor
burn:
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as possible
without impairing image readability.
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e.
photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light and
dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds.
Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply
dened borders between colors.
NOTE: BURN-INS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY

best suit your particular application needs.
