This video monitor is designed to display television content from a separate TV tuner. Full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States will end (as required by law) on February 17, 2009, after which full-power TV broadcasts will be digital only. If this device is used after that date to record or display programming from a product with a TV tuner that relies on a TV antenna, that product would need to contain a digital tuner, or a TV Converter would be necessary to tune the digital signal received with a TV antenna. Analog TVs should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching prerecorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver or directly with this product, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-FCC. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.

Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.

When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display. · Top of the Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the
high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.
· Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
· Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.
· Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
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.
Note: Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to remain on the Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
