Safety Precautions
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can
also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly
handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured
with the highest priority on safety. However, improper use can
result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential
danger, please observe the following instructions when
installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your
safety and prolong the service life of your product, please read
the following precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read
and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating
instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the
instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be
followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before
cleaning the product. To clean the product, use the supplied
cleaning cloth or other soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel). Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result
in accidents.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water,
such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub,
swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal
injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the
product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended
by the manufacturer.
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be
moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and
uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the
cart.
10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents
and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface,
since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not
designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in
an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed.
11. Power source—This product must operate on a power source
specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer
or local power company.
12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed
properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects
from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and
product.
13. The plasma display used in this product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken
glass pieces in case the plasma display breaks.
14. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
15. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into
the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in
the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock
and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill
water or liquid on the product.
16. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself.
Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other
dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to
perform servicing.
17. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service
person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects
have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
e. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any
noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the
product needs servicing.
18. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement
parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same
characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of
unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or
other danger.
19. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work,
request the service technician to perform safety checks to
ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
20. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a
wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the
method recommended by the manufacturer.
21. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources
such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat- generating
products (including amplifiers).
22. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before installing
the speakers (for PRO-1150HD only).
23. Never expose the screen of the plasma display to a strong
impact, for example, by hitting it. The screen may be broken,
resulting in fire or personal injury.
24. Do not expose the plasma display to direct sunlight for a long
period of time. The optical characteristics of the front
protection panel changes, resulting in discoloration or warp.
25. The plasma display weighs about 40.8 kg (89.9 lbs.) for the
PRO-1150HD (including the stand and speaker) and about
31.8 kg (70.1 lbs.) for the PRO-950HD (including the stand).
Because it has small depth and is unstable, unpack, carry,
and install the product with one more person at least and use
the handles.
