To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause
a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and
have it serviced by an authorized TOSHIBA Service
Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained, authorized TOSHIBA
dealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
Caution
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may
affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or
reflected light from your Plasma display.
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that
is easy to receive electromagnetic waves.
It may cause interference in image, sound, etc.
In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma displays 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 TOSHIBA plasma display, 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 display when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma display 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, avoid white characters on black
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever
possible.
Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
Note:
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended
period, as this can cause a permanent ghost image to
remain on the Wide Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,
computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3
mode.
Caution
The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely
high level of precision technology, however sometimes some
parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have
luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
