Before Calling Service
Ambient

temperature
If the power/standby indicator in front is red and blinking, the temperature inside
the monitor has become too high and has activated the protector.The monitor will
be turned off. Unplug the power cord and wait for the monitor to cool down.
Care of the screen
Clean the anti-reflex coated flat glass screen with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not
use abrasives solvents as it can damage the glass surface of the screen.
Plasma Display
Caution:A video source (such as a video game, DVD, or information channel)
characteristics
which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the monitor, can cause damage to
the screen.When your Flat-Monitor is continuously used with such a source, the
pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (DVD, etc.) could leave an image
permanently on the screen.When not in use, turn the video source off.
To prevent or to reduce burn-in of the screen, select a LONG LIFE setting in the
OPTION 2 menu. See p. 14.
Very incidentally and after a longer period of unuse (approx. 1 year) the screen
may display some strange colour deficiencies.This is quite normal for plasma
displays and these effects will disappear after the set has been turned on for some
time.
A plasma display consists of more than 1,2 Million color pixels. It is within industry
standards that very few pixels (< 0.001%) may be defective, even for a new set.
There is however no reason to doubt about the quality of the set.
The plasma display technology operates with rare gases which are being influenced
by air pressure. Up to an altitude of 6526ft above sea-level (local air pressure equal
or above 800 hPa), the display is functioning fine. Operating the set at a higher
altitude (lower air pressure), the picture becomes unstable and the picture
performance is deteriorating.
The plasma display might then also produce a humming sound.After bringing the
set below 6526 ft (local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) it works fine again.
Transportation has no influence.
Control of
The infrared radiation of the screen may influence the reception sensitivity of

other peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries of the remote control or change

radius of 4.92 ft.
