A plasma screen is made up of
around 1.2 million colour pixels.
Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels
(0.001%) can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect within
the warranty.
The plasma screen functions with
inert gases and air pressure. At 2000 m
above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable and the picture
quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned to below 2000 m above sea level, this effect
disappears and the device functions perfectly.
OSD DISPLAY DURATION
- It is very helpful for servicing to set the display duration to "off". Then the menus will not be removed automatically.
RESET
- Switch off the set (mains switch) of there is a malfunction or if the set hung-up - wait 30 seconds (until all electrolytic capacitors are discharged).
- Switch on the set
FACTORY SETTINGS
- Select "Reset to Factory Defaults" of the "Set Up" menu. All settings will be resetted. Channels are not deleted.
STICKING EFFECTS
- Once these sticking effects occur, normally they can not be reversed. An operation with a white pattern for a few days can reduce the sticking effect.

Only operating software
authorized by GRUNDIG is allowed. If a failure is caused by an operating
software which has been downloaded from not authorized sources, independent of
its origin, or by a modified software, this represents an outside interference.
An outside interference leads to the expiration of any warranty claims. For
this reason, GRUNDIG is obliged to generally refuse any payment due to such
infringements. In such cases, the repair costs are at the charge of the
retailer or the final customer, even within the period of warranty.
