• Do not use the TV where the temperature is below 41°F (5°C) • Do not display still image for a long time Leaving still image on for a long time can cause screen image retention on the plasma display. In other word, the image retention is called “screen burn”. To minimize the possibility of screen burn, please use “Display Shift” and/or “White Panel” functions. These functions are found under “Picture” - “Advanced Picture Settings” in OSD menu. • Heat on the upper part of the product After long period of use, the top side of the product will be hot. It’s natural as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole on top of the TV. Please do not let children touch the upper part of the TV. • Cell Defects The Panel of PDP requires a highly sophisticated technique. However, the screen may have a few dark or bright pixels. It won’t disturb the work of the product. • Warranty Image retention will not be covered by warranty.
