Important Safeguards

Warnings and precautions

■Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings

of your plasma TV. The top of your plasma TV gets very hot from exhaust

air that is released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal

injuries may occur if any body parts are placed too close. Placing any

object near the top of your plasma TV could result in heat related

damages to the object and your plasma TV.

■Disconnect all cables before moving your plasma TV. Moving your

plasma TV with its cables attached may damage the cables and cause fire

or electric shock danger.

■To prevent damage which may result in a fire or shock hazard, do not

expose your plasma TV to rain or moisture.

■Keep your plasma TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures,

moisture, or direct sunlight.

■Use in a well-ventilated area and do not cover your plasma TV ventilation

openings.

■Unauthorized modification of this equipment or use of an unshielded

power cord or video input source cable may cause excessive interference.

■When your plasma TV is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect

it from the electrical outlet.

■If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your plasma TV,

then disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video

input source cable is connected correctly, then reconnect your plasma TV

to the electrical outlet.

■Disconnect your plasma TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or

performing maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only

a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.

■Do not place your plasma TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your

plasma TV may fall, causing serious damage.

Warning Risk of electric shock - Do not open

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do no remove the front

or back covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Have your plasma TV repaired by qualified service

personnel only.

Important Safeguards

www.gateway.com

■Do not place your plasma TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.

Never place your plasma TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do

not install your plasma TV in an enclosed area unless correct ventilation

is provided.

■Your plasma TV should be operated from the type of power source

indicated on the label. If the type of available power is unknown, consult

your electrician or local power company.

■Your plasma TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will

only fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not

alter the plug because this will defeat the safety feature.

■Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord

near high traffic areas.

■Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result

in a risk of fire or electric shock.

■Disconnect your plasma TV from the main power supply and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel if:

■The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

■Liquid has been spilled into your plasma TV.

■Your plasma TV has been exposed to water or moisture.

■Your plasma TV does not operate normally when the operating

instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of

other controls may result in damage which often requires extensive

work by a qualified technician to restore your plasma TV to normal

operation.

■Your plasma TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

Avoid image burn-in

■Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time,

such as black bars, stock tickers, video games, or shopping channel logos

and pricing displays, can leave a permanent ghost image (burn-in). Avoid

this by mixing your viewing patterns. Do not show the same stationary

image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week.

■Your warranty does NOT cover screen burn-in.
