Power lamp  
• When mounting the Plasmavision vertically, make sure that the power lamp is at the lower right.  
Notes  
• Do not display the same picture (pattern) continuously for a long time. Doing so raises the brightness of the picture and may  
cause after-images.  
• Looking at the picture continuously for a long time can tire the eyes. View the display from a reasonable distance (about three  
times the length of the screen).  
If something is wrong with the Plasmavision internally, the built-in protection circuit will cut the power automatically. If so, the  
power lamp will blink in red, indicating a malfunction.  
• If the power lamp is blinking red, it is warning that something is wrong with the Plasmavision. There is a danger of fire or  
electrical shock, so be certain to unplug the power cord and contact your product dealer. (See P52)  
• The plasma display panel has been built using extremely precise and sophisticated technologies. More than 99.99% of its  
pixels are effective. However, a minute number of pixels are missing or constantly lit.  
• Do not install the Plasmavision where there will be interference between it and other AV equipment. (If interference from  
electromagnetic waves causes jumbled images, noise or malfunctioning of the infrared remote control, change the installation  
location.)  
• When the display is installed vertically, only still images appears.

USING PC CARD  
PC CARDS THAT CAN BE USED  
Use a 5 V ATA card TYPE I-III that is a PCMCIA Rel. 2.0/JEIDA Ver. 4.0 or later, recommended by Fujitsu.  
A PC card is not supplied. A recommended version must be purchased separately.  
CAUTION  
• Do not use a card that operates on 3.3 V, as this can cause operation problems.  
• Certain PC cards (not recommended by Fujitsu) can damage the Plasmavision or the card.  
PC card  
This refers to the card standardized jointly by JEIDA and PCMCIA.  
ATA  
ATA is short for ATAttachment, which is the interface and protocol that the AT-compatible computer uses for access-  
ing the hard disk.  
JEIDA  
JEIDA is short for the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. This organization has promulgated the  
standardization of specifications for IC memory cards, and has settled on common specifications.  
PCMCIA  
PCMCIA is short for the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. This organization has devised  
joint memory card standardization based on the common specifications of JEIDA. Currently, this activity covers not  
only memory cards but all types of I/O cards. These cards are referred to as PC cards, and their standardization (PC  
Card Standard) has been completed.  
CAUTION
