Warnings and Safety Precaution
This plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.
Please see the section Plasma monitor cleaning

cells. There may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there
is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air
to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the
overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will
be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the
monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where
the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to
cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your
Marantz dealer for service.

high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.

caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Marantz
